Last week while I was rummaging through the magazines in the recycling center, I found a recent issue of Family Fun. In the issue was a picture of a [used] Little Tikes Cozy Coupe car that had been made-over to look like a Mini Cooper. Since Olivia's birthday was approaching, the wheels in my wee brain started to turn. Thanks to my little friend Emerson, whose Cozy Coupe days were long-gone, I had a well-loved and used Cozy Coupe in my possession within a day. With a couple cans of spray paint and some vinyl, I transformed the Coupe into a Love Bug for granddaughter, Olivia.
well-loved Cozy Coupe before.....
Olivia's Love Bug
I first primed the car with Valspar plastic spray paint primer and let it dry for 24 hours.
I then applied two coats of Valspar spray paint (frosty berry)
The vinyl decals were cut using my Cricut machine.
I can hardly believe that my vision for this car turned out as I had hoped and dreamed.
Today, we (Grandma and Grandpa Bozell) attended Olivia's 1st birthday party and presented her with her Love Bug. She seemed to love it. We put her inside and she immediately took to the steering wheel. We pushed her around the house...she was all smiles and so were we.
