When my daughter was a baby, she ate a lot of baby food pouches and I saved tons of the green caps. However, I rarely used them for any crafts. Lately, she's been eating apple sauce pouches with orange caps, and they look just like tiny pumpkins. We also have a bunch of yellow ones, too. I figured now is the perfect time to use the orange caps, so I decided to create a vintage truck out of cardboard from an old box. I used the yellow caps as wheels, and then filled the back of the pickup truck with "pumpkins." I figured this could be turned into some kind of game, or even a reward system for kids. Check out the steps below to see how I made the antique pickup truck filled with pumpkins.
Materials:
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Cardboard
- Pencil
- Black marker
- Orange pouch caps (and other colors for the wheels)
- Green floral wire
- Wire cutters
Step 1. I drew out how I wanted the truck to look and the amount of shapes I needed.
Step 2. I drew shapes for one side of the truck with pencil. Then I traced over them with black marker.
Step 3. I cut the shapes out with scissors.
Step 4. I traced the shapes from Step 2 onto a different piece of cardboard and cut them out. I used black marker to draw the same outlines on the opposite side.
Step 5. I glued the bottom of the truck to one side of the truck. Then I glued the other side. After that, I glued on the front part between the headlights.
The wheels
Step 6. I glued on the wheel panels and yellow wheels.
Step 7. I found a piece of bendable cardboard to make the windshield and cabin area, so that the back resembled a truck bed.
Step 8. I used the width of the truck to measure and draw a rectangle for the tailgate. Then I glued it on the back.
Step 9. I looped some green floral wire through the bottom of the cap to ensure it would stay on.
Step 10. I used a straw to coil the wire.
Step 11. I placed all the pumpkin caps into the back of the pickup truck.

This truck looks great. It would pass very nicely for a school project. Nice work.
Esta manualidad es muy útil para que los más pequeños de la casa puedan hacerlo con simples pasos.
