Vinyl Projects

You might remember, months and months ago, that I received some clear vinyl with Lightning McQueen and Mater on it as a gift, and I asked for ideas on what to do with it. I got some great suggestions from you, friends! Unfortunately, I didn't make note of who suggested what, so I can't give you credit personally...but I do appreciate your help and hope you know who you are!

I have two projects done, below. I also plan to make an art smock out of some of the remaining vinyl as Jonathan has worn out his Thomas the Train smock. That may or may not happen before the baby comes!

Here's the first project. (I had to get my machine repaired after this one. It was a bear!) It's an organizer that hangs on the back of the car seat but in front of Jonathan. I hope it calms some of the backseat chaos with all the books that end up back there.

Here's the second one. It's a pocket organizer (technically a shoe holder) for the back of Jonathan and Grace's door. I plan to put Grace's socks, shoes, and hair bows in the top pockets and let him use the middle and bottom pockets for his treasures. A 5-year-old boy shouldn't be expected to share everything with his little sister, should he? He's pretty excited about this and tells me he's going to put his Playmobil guys and their things in there. I'm sure some Hot Wheels and other odds and ends will end up living there, too.
