My wooden scooter

 

 

 

I have pimped my little wooden scooter

which I bought in Antwerp.

 

For the mudguard I used a tea light.

For the strips I cut a colour chart from my local diy-shop.

 

I really like it. The scooter was very cheap. 2,20 €

 

Have a nice day

Board Games Kit 1 & 2 by ArtofMini

I have done 2 board games kits by ArtofMini.

 

For a nostalgic atmosphere I added some bows.

 

On the dollshouse fair in Antwerp I bought a tennis racket

which matches perfect to the tennis boxes.

Maybe I do also a badminton net and some table tennis reckets.
