Hi All. Here's a 3D wheel Barrow for you to try it stands about 9cm high and 19cm long. It's should be easy for you to build if you look at the picture. plastic drinking straws are inserted in the barrow shafts to aid glueing they can be removed when the glue as stuck! don't wait until dry, as you won't get them out.
The legs are cut through 3 sides leaving one side uncut(found best to leave the glued double side) then insert a bendy straw into leg making sure the bend of straw is across your cut and compressed so the straw will bend and stay in shape (Try it out of leg to see how it will stay in shape when compressed)
glue all the wheel parts together for strength use a piece of straw to keep them in line, best to press the glued pieces flat until set. Space the wheel with the square shaft material between axle supports and use drinking straw for the axle, pulling the straw through until the convoluted part of the bendy straw just clicks into the axle support this keep axle in place
