The finished sweet cart!

I love the way it turned out!

The roof is 2 sheets of Mdf covered in an old vintage sheet,

 bunting for the edge, all fabric is stapled gunned on.

You can see the 4 stair posts support the roof, 

The old wheel was off a wheel barrow planter

& it all had 4 coats of emulsion, distressed & then waxed.

Filled with jars of sweets, sugar mice & little paper bags

 for a lovely vintage sweet cart look.

Total cost - £37.95
(could work out much cheaper if you have table/board etc already)

Table £10

4 post (1.99 each) £7.96

Wheel (free)

Mdf 8.99 

Fabric sheet £3 (car boot)

Jars - £1 each but you could use empty jam jars for free!

Paint - left over from decorating so free!

Top part is removable so it can fit in a car and be stored a little easier.


It has been to a couple of vintage fairs and looked fantastic
 Its is now having a jolly time doing the rounds of family parties!
