I need DIY help!!!!

My friend gave me the cutest idea but I have no idea how to find/how to make this! My godson will be almost 1 at my wedding and I was going to decorate a wagon for my flower girl to pull him down the aisle. She suggested since my wedding is in December to have him pulled down in a sleigh....how can I make this? LINDSAY!?!?!?!

how strong is your flower girl?

it shouldn't be too hard to find a wooden sleigh (like the flyers) that you could just decorate with pointsettas.

thats cute - go to a thrift store and buy a cheap sleigh - or someplace like play it again sports - or even ebay it!

Then spraypaint it one of your wedding colors! and add some sparkly spray paint on top of it to make it pretty!

would it look stupid if I put it on wheels so my flower girl can pull it?

I dont think it would - maybe get tiny skate wheels or something and drill them in.

what about getting a cheap wagon, since it will already have wheels, and using like foam board and/or fabric on the sides to make it look like it's a sleigh?

It might be expensive but cute. Put a christmas sleigh on top of a flat bed that is covered with fake snow/some kind of decor? How strong is the little girl? haha I'm sure there has to be smaller ones. Last year I got a gift basket shaped like a sleigh but it would fit a 6 mos old probably, not a 1 year old.

ooo do you know anyone who is handy?


you could cut out pieces of wood to look like the sides of a sleigh and attach them to a wagon, might help cut the costs a lil


(i know i've put my dad to work on some of my DIY stuff lol)
