Step-by-Step Instructions :-
Step 1: Wheels
- Cut three equal-sized circular shapes from cardboard or use ready-made circular materials (like plastic lids).
- Wrap the outer edge of each circle with red yarn to create the tire.
- Use white yarn to create spokes. Glue one end of the yarn at the center, stretch it to the outer edge, and glue it in place. Repeat this process to create evenly spaced spokes.
Step 2: Basket
- Create the basket using ice cream sticks. Cut the sticks to the desired size.
- Arrange them vertically side by side and glue them onto a circular cardboard base.
- Wrap a strip of lace around the basket for decoration and attach pearls or beads for added charm.
Step 3: Frame
- Cut long strips of cardboard or use small wooden dowels for the frame of the tricycle.
- Wrap the strips or dowels with red yarn for a clean finish.
- Assemble the frame by gluing the parts together in the shape of a tricycle, leaving space to attach the baskets and wheels.
Step 4: Attach the Wheels
- Use a small stick or straw to act as the axle for the wheels. Glue the wheels to the frame securely.
- Ensure the wheels are evenly spaced and properly aligned.
Step 5: Decorate
- Attach the basket to the rear of the tricycle and another small one near the handlebar.
- Add rhinestones, flowers, or other embellishments to the basket and the body of the tricycle.
Step 6: Final Touches
- Double-check all joints and glue connections to ensure stability.
- Add more decorative elements as desired.
Tips :-
- Use lightweight materials to avoid making the tricycle too heavy.
- Be patient when wrapping yarn or creating spokes to ensure a neat and uniform look.
