My friends little boy turned 2 last week!
When they come over he likes to play with
He had a "Cars" themed party, so I thought I would
make a Cars themed play mat.
make a Cars themed play mat.
I got all the felt at Joanns
The green base is 1 yard
The red trim is 4 inch strips folded in half.
All the writing is done with fabric paint also
purchased at Joanns.
Tow Mater is definitely my favorite character so I
knew he had to be on it.
Here is the inspiration.
I was not talented enough to make the car inside the cone
but I think you can still get the picture.
Inspiration
I turned the movie on while making this and
just watched for inspiration.
It was fun pausing..rewinding..pausing..
More Inspiration
The flags were a slight challenge for my shaky hands.
I cut out one big piece of black then
glued on the little white squares.
They are so not even or lined up
but I don't think its super noticeable.
All the signs I found online were way to hard to do..
But in the movie it has a pretty
simple sign on the way into town...
So I copied it.
I tried to have a Piston Cup racing side...
and a Radiator Springs side.
If I were to make another one I would try and think of more things to put on the piston cup side....
Most of the things on the movie were to
complex to make with felt..
So it is much more simple on the car mat.
Inspiration
I had the throw in the Cars logo somewhere.
So its over the "garage"
Inspiration
well there you have it!!
Here is Maddox at the Party playing with it!!
What do you think??

ReplyDeleteI am so doing this! My little boy Caden will be two in a couple weeks. He would love this! I'd love for you to follow me at www.six-cents.com.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Great job! I used to play with cars when I was a little girl, and I just followed the pattern on my mom's rug. She's not a crafter. lol I wonder if my daughter will like cars, too... This is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! My nephew would love this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I love a car play mat (mainly because my son's keeps him quiet for at least half an hour every day, and he's had it more than a year!). There are so many different ideas out there - I'm tempted to make a Cars one now too!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO CUTE! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out awesome! I bet he loves it! Such a good little boys gift idea.
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm featuring this tomorrow!
