This Carousel Swing project tries to capture the bygone days of childhood when there was anticipation for county fair and carnival rides such as this one. We’re approaching the time of year for fairs in this part of the country, and I still go every year! I always look forward to the tasty funnel cakes and fried cheesecake that are so famous at the fair.
This project is functional with pull-out drawers on the base. It’s made with poster board, and chipboard. I’m enclosing the templates for this project along with instructions for how to construct it for those of you interested in making it. Be sure and scale and print each of the templates at 100%. It’s a challenging project requiring lots of time to make, but the end result is sure to be something that will be dearly treasured!

Best wishes for everyone to have a very happy day!

    hello…these are amazing!!! do you have the svg files to these…I wasnt able to convert the wpc. with the jpg files you have, unfortunately my Mac computer cant open them properly to save into the right size…with your beautiful typewriter box, I could only do screen shots of the image files, but still they didnt come out the right sizes. I hope you could turn these into svgs because I have a Silhouette Cameo

    Hi! This looks gorgeous!
    May I know how do you make the fences for both the carousel?

    1. Tara Brown

      Hi Vivian, Thank you for your comment. The pink carousel fence was made using the Spellbinder Shapeabilities “A Gilded Life” Petite Monarch Etched Die. The blue carousel fence was made using a cutting file from Pazzles that you can find here: https://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/library-3?g2_itemId=318562

      I hope that helps! Have a great day!
