Circus Caravan

Here is another piece that I created for the folks at Alpha Stamps as a guest designer. 

This circus caravan is double sided and made of chipboard pendants.  I used gaffers tape or bookbinding tape to connect the pendants.

I added buttons and rhinestones to sprockets to create wheels.
