It took me so long to make because I couldn't find a vintage car....all they sell are race cars! I looked online and all I could find were cars that would cost a minimum $10 with shipping...no thank you :/
Then my daughter told me I should look through my son's box of cars I had in the garage. I was doubtful since he mainly loved construction trucks. But I did find 2 possible cars I could use. One was a 50's car, but I felt it was too "lowrider" for me hahaha. So I picked this bug...
It did need a paint job though. I went to Michaels and just picked up Martha Stewart High Gloss Habanero. It took a few coats to cover up the graffiti art on the car, but it was worth it.
The tree is a bit big, but I love it! (The picture doesn't do it justice--it is red not pink.)
Thank you for looking.
Super-cute! Isn't it crazy how hard it is to find a regular Matchbox/Hot Wheels car for this project?!? I'm still holding out hope though!
ReplyDeleteI think we need plan a trip to go to the Antique Fair to find some! :)
