Light enough to rest on acanthus leaves.
After making the popsicle pallet, with wicking from the onboard water reservoir in the bottom pallet, thought to make the wheelbarrow. (There is a link on making the pallet planter on the internet, will find it, and paste in the link.)
When making the sides, keep in mind, they are complementary pairs, so the vertical slats go opposite sides to each other.
Did this on graph paper, so it can be printed out, will check for a scaling factor, so the 5mm spaced lines match up.
Using dressmaker pins on the paper put through foam, either floral art foam, or white polystyrene foam.
Started on a wheel, but wasn't looking good to finish it in time for the post, so used a hole saw in the shed.
Here is is out in the sunshine.
Side view, a liner, and slits were cut afterward from below to allow drainage. Considering wicking, perhaps another popsicle pallet. Or, some other object made from popsicle sticks. Can help think of the song "Popsicles and Icicles by the Mermaids" in 1964.
