I made a Vardo wagon recycling cardboard from some pizza boxes I had laying around. I only bought the colors, the hot glue and some paper straws. It took me about five days to finish working about two or three hours daily.
I started by drawing and cutting the cardboard walls of the wagon. Then I made the cardboard roof and the base. I cut out the windows and the door. I made every wheel by overlaying five circles of cardboard, making the wheel's center (rolling two cardboard stripes, a tall one and a shorter one) and used some paper straws for the wheels spokes. I glued everything in place using super glue. When the basic shape was finished I started adding the smaller details like roof tiles and small wooden boards all over the surface of the wagon. Under the windows I placed the cardboard stripes vertically and alternating the direction to give a nice decorative effect. I also made railing for the front porch and added a little box at the back of the wagon. For the door hinges I used a little piece of craft foam I had. I painted the wagon using acrylic paint. I start the painting by covering the surface with the base colors. Then I added some brighter nuances for the lighted areas and darker and diluted nuances in the shadows and contrast areas. I hope you liked my video and got some inspiration to start your own projects. Have fun!
