Treasure Hunting Tuesday…Wooden Cars.

October 30, 2012 by Michelle Hinckley |

I’m on a roll…first it was “Foodie Friday“, now it’s “Treasure Hunting Tuesday.”
I come across all kinds of Treasures from all over the place that I’d love to share with you so Tuesday is now my official day to do that. 
The other day I came across these wooden trucks and car at a thrift store.  
Orange tags were 50% off that day so I only paid $1.50.
I actually loved the look of the unfinished wood and was tempted to leave them that way.
But, I decided to give them a little color instead.
First primer then Frog tape on the wheels to make sure there was no bleeding paint under the tape.  
Rustoleum is my spray paint of choice to which they got a coat of the primary colors.
He’s happy, I’m happy.
 
(Disclosure: I was given Frog Tape to use on my projects).

    That’s awesome. I actually found animal versions just like this that I bought for my baby girl awhile back–only $1 a piece! I’m thinking of a creative way to make a cute pattern on them like argyle or paisley or something…though I’ve been tempted to leave them since they’re so nice looking unfinished! Thanks for sharing:)
