What to do when my little consumer wanted a car for his Luigi doll, excuse me I mean, “action plushie”? Well, get crafty, of course! A couple of hours, some paints, and a lesson in recycling later–and we had ourselves a cardboard box, turned Mario Cart!
(I love how his first instinct was to pose like John Cusack in “Say Anything”.)
Thanks to Kathy, we had the *exact* colors we needed in Crafty Chica paints to convert our Converse container into a regular ol boxcar!
Per Tristan’s instructions, I cut out a hole for Luigi to sit in, leaving a back piece for him to lean on. Bonus: when you open the lid, the car transforms into a bed! You know, because Luigi gets tired from racing. 😉
We may be in the day of video games and high-tech toys– but it’s good to know that sometimes a plain old box, still does the trick. Recycle. Reuse. Recreate…with your kids.
The YarnYAY! June Box has landed, and we couldn’t be happier with it! This month we’re focusing on breezy cotton, and the floral embroidery on knitwear trend, including my newest mini book: Embroider Knit!.
It was so fun meeting some YarnYAYers IRL. Thanks to all who were able to come out to the YarnYAY! studio Open House, and to all who continue to support my small business! 💓...
