Radio Flyer DIY remodel

February 24, 2014 Lana

A long long time ago, there was a boy who wanted a wagon.

His grandparents went in together and formed a plan and gave him one for his birthday.

The boy is now old and in high school.

He no longer desires his rusty old wagon.

Radio Flyer Makeover

But, his parents have used it…and abused it…and used it to the bottom basically fell apart.

Radio Flyer Upcycle

Instead of buying a new wagon…

Radio Flyer Remodeled

They remodeled the rusty old one with scrap lumber.

Bottom of new Radio Flyer

Built a box for the existing wheels.

New Radio Flyer Upcycled

So it would remember the previous wagon, we had to clean up the old lettering.

Radio Flyer Fixed

A little noisy as it got sharpened up and prettified.  (I think I just made up that word.  Don’t judge.)

Radio Flyer Mended

Added the wheels.  My hubby is very picky about placement.  It has to be perfect!!!

I’d just try it with super glue.

The grandparents are glad I’m not in charge of attaching the wheels or tuning cars.

New Wheels for Radio Flyer

We had to add a little paint.

Baritone to be exact by Olympic.  The same as our front door.

Radio flyer Remade

Thus we started using it immediately.

A worm digging party ensued.

Radio Flyer helps with gardeners

And all the kids were happy.

The End.

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
