What You’ll Need:

• Cutting mat
• Foamboard w/ template for frame and hubcaps
• Twist ties
• Scissors
• Paint pen
• Hot glue
• Craft knife
• Foam glue
• Template of number 7
• Guide for frame assembly

How to Make It:

1. Use a craft knife to cut out the frame and hubcaps from the foamboard.
2. Using the guide for the racer frame, build the frame with hot glue. Add red tape to support the joints.
3. Cut the light brown felt in a u-shape with wavy edges and then cut dark brown felt with wavy edges to create the appearance of melted chocolate.
4. Decorate the chocolate felt with the craft foam confetti to look like sprinkles.
5. Attach the dark brown felt to the large thick foam rectangle using hot glue.
6. Cut out the number seven from the template and wrap the thick foam circle in pink tissue paper. Attach the cut-out seven to the front of the pink circle, and then wrap in cellophane. Secure with tape and twist ties and then finish it off with pink bows on both sides.
7. Wrap the shipping tubes in white ribbon to make them look like candy and secure with hot glue. Then, wrap the tubes in cellophane, and then add the tissue paper tassels.
8. Stick the strawberry template design on the smaller hubcap and then decorate with tape. Use the paint pen to decorate the larger hubcaps with a design of your choice.
9. Form the pool noodles in a circle and secure with tape. Decorate the rest of the pool noodle with tape.
10. Create the wheels by hot-gluing the strawberry hubcap to the smaller set of wheels. For the larger wheels, stack the pool noodle circles and hot-glue them together, then attach the hubcap to the outside.
11. Lay the lighter brown chocolate felt over the frame of the racer and adhere with hot glue. Use hot glue to adhere the shipping tube exhaust pipes to the back of the frame. Then, take the thick foam rectangle covered in dark brown felt and glue it to the spoiler. Finish off the details of your frame with the number seven candy. Place the frame on your wagon and attach the wheels with hot glue.

Note: All cutting should be done by an adult.
