How I built my DIY Candy Cart for Our Event Rental Business

[@yellowhammerwoodcrafts]

Looks great. I never thought about using pvc for the pipes holding the roof. Great way to do it. I like that roof design too!

[@MakerDecor]

Thank you, working on a new simpler design now. The roof had me messed up for a week trying to get everything right, lol

[@bccreationskwakwa693]

Looks amazing, a lot of work but totally worth it

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes it was a lot of work, mainly the roof part though. Thank you very much.

[@Bobster986]

Very cool, It just needs a bar or some handles so you can push it.

[@MakerDecor]

Yeah, I was planning on putting some short handles for decoration but ran out of time lol.

[@harmonie2121]

Beautiful work! I love this cart. Do you sell the plans and material list? I’m small like your wife, can she set it up alone?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, sorry for this one I do not because I am working on one similar that will be easier and lighter to setup. Hopefully will be done in two months or earlier. Thank you for the support!

Good Job. I built one but yours is super heavy duty.

[@MakerDecor]

Cool, thanks for watching. Yeah this is my 3rd cart I have built and each one I try to make lighter and more efficient. I am hoping to work on a design that's lighter, easier to brake down but still sturdy to use for multiple events. Hopefully I can have it done by early next year. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you very much!

[@alexandratheall8536]

Hi ! You are amazing talented! I bought the traditional cart plans from you and the elegant wheels but I think I like more this one, do you have the plans? Or the list of the materials? Thank you 😊

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thank you for your support! Yes I do get a lot of requests for plans for this one. I am working on them but wont be ready for a couple of months. I have some projects I am finishing up right now. I am also redesigning this build to make it easier, lighter and transport friendly. This is one of my bigger projects but should be out at the end or after the summer.

[@kausarmemon6582]

Where did you buy the stencil for the valence design from ?

[@amadoreros]

Hi do you have the SVG plans for this specific cart? I purchased your other file and it's great.

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thanks for the support! I am redesigning this cart and will make the plans for it. Hopefully it will be done in a month or two depending how it comes together. Thanks!

[@StacyScarah-yc1tb]

Hi loving this candy cart and would love to build one. Do you have a plan with materiels etc... ive seen the foldable one on your shop but cant find a plan for this cart. Thanks

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, I have been working on one similar to this just more beginner friendly. It still maybe a month or two away. Thanks for the support!

[@antoinetteterry5128]

Love your work I've purchased quite a few plans from you. Can you do a 6ft easy foldable bar on wheels for simple and easy storing when not being used, please and thank you 🥰😁

[@MakerDecor]

Hi, thank you so much for the support. That is on my list for sure. Just have a couple of projects I need to finish first. Thank you!

[@livinglifetothefullest7288]

What is width and height of the roof without the poles attached?

[@MakerDecor]

I can not remember off the top of my head but it was made slightly larger than the table base of 2ft x 4ft. I wanted a slight over hang, but very little. The height was about 12 inches

[@livinglifetothefullest7288]

@@MakerDecor Thank You. I am in the process of making a dessert cart and I am using your video as a guide.

[@MakerDecor]

@@livinglifetothefullest7288 Hi, if you email me or message me to the instagram. I can send you some photos with measurements that others have requested. Good luck!

[@SW-di5ky]

Hey this is cool! Can you take the top off? And the gold poles. I am wanting to make one myself but, I don't have room to store it so, I wanted one that can be disassembled and put away, also easy to move around.

[@MakerDecor]

Hi thanks for watching, Yes the top and poles come off. This is the second candy cart I made. The first one I designed to have the top and bottom separate for delivery setups. Unfortunately, It still made it some what difficult to store and transport. So when I built this one, I had this in mind and created it to have the table top separate, poles come out and top separate. This makes it lighter to move but still sturdy enough for events. Thanks for your comment.

[@greenmountainpaintingcontr5563]

Can you give us a general idea of what the total cost was? (Materials only, not tools) thanks so much!

Very Beautiful, you are definitely a man of many talents. I loved watching you build this candy cart it came out beautifully. I wish you and your wife the very business in business.. You both are super talented..You both should consider possibly giving lessons as an additional income source people would pay to learn 😉.

[@MakerDecor]

Thank you so much for watching and for your positive words for me and my wife!

[@funtimezkidztv7727]

Love your carts!! What material do you use to make them more lightweight?

[@MakerDecor]

Thank you, it depends on the cart. It is always a battle when to use lighter or stronger wood for certain sections. I am redesigning this cart to make it more light and transport friendly. Hopefully will have the build out in two months or so.

[@michellecreative701]

Awesome

[@MakerDecor]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@claudiacalvillo6276]

This is great!! Do you have the measurements/build plans for this? I see you posted the materials, but wondering if you have the plans.

[@MakerDecor]

Hi thanks so much for watching and commenting. I do not have the plans for this, as most of the stuff I just start building and make adjustments while I build depending on how it looks. I have been thinking of designing plans for the things I build so that people may have something to go off if they decide to build some of the things I have here. If I do decide to eventually make some plans of the stuff I make then I will post a video on here about it. Thank you so much.

[@MariaDiaz-us4fi]

Wow I loved the video . hey do you know how much money did you invest in the materials for the candy cart ?

[@MakerDecor]

Hi thanks for your question. My first candy cart was maybe under $300, and $50 of that was for the wagon wheels. This candy cart was probably similar in price but a lot more labor intensive than my first candy cart. I have a video on my KZbin channel that has more detail as well about candy carts. Thank you for your question.

Hi thanks for watching and commenting. This actually was a couple of days of 2 or 3 hours of work each time and then a short break waiting for the wagon wheels to show up. If I had all the supplies and full days work. It is about 3 days of full work and maybe half of the 4th day just to paint and touchup edges.

Is that plywood or MDF?

[@MakerDecor]

I used MDF because of the look of MDF after painting and because when I built this plywood was crazy expensive. It has come down some, since then.
