Cinderella Carriage ~ sorry, not a recipe ;)

Off the topic of cooking... but I just had to share this Cinderella carriage I made for my daughter's birthday. Sorry, but I don't have any step-by-steps! It was a hit-or-miss sort of project.

I used white coat hangers. I stretched them out straight, snipped off the ends, and rollen 5 of them into large circles. I then intertwined the 5 circles to make a globe. With my son's help, secured them at the top and bottom by weaving white pipe cleaners around the top.

I then took two more hangers, and rolled the ends of them around a gatorade bottle. Then, using needle nose pliers, I curved the ends into curly qs. I used two pipe cleaner to connect these to like axles. Then I balanced by globe on the axles. I covered the pipe cleaners with gorilla glue and used super glue where the hangers touched the axles. I'm sure a hot glue gun would work too, but I couldn't find mine. Also, super glue worked to hold it quickly.

Then I trekked to the hobby store and bought flowers to glue on the wheels, ribbon to top the pipe cleaner, and I bought one strand of wedding flower beads--there were 10 individual strands on this and I cut them off and hot glued/gorilla glued them along the coat hangers.

It took a while, (and caused a few blisters) but I think it came out adorable!
