Transformation Thursday~
Granny cart make-over! Here is a little red "granny-cart" that I picked up from our local swap meet for $8. (I've got a total of 4 of these in different colors and sizes) I've had this one a few years, I've kept it in the trunk of my '66 Mustang just incase I needed a cart at a moments notice to peruse any block sale I might come across. I had previously made the red checkered liner for it, but I was never happy with how it turned out... Sooooooo I made a new liner for the little granny cart...now its a toddler tote!! Now its going to haul around toys for my grandson. In keeping with my two year old grandson's passion for anything car related, I used car fabric that I picked up at Walmart. ($4.44 a yard) The black fabric is a piece of a twin size flat sheet. (that I picked up at Walmart for $2.50) You just can't beat the price of using sheets. I love how it turned out, and most importantly-- my grandson loves how it turned out! You can also view more transformations over at "Shabby Chic Cottage" and over at "A Soft Place to Land" Kimba is hosting a "do it yourself" linky party. The Coloradolady is also hosting a Vintage Thingie Thursday. Last but not least...Leigh over at "Tales From Bloggeritaville" is hosting a Thrifty Thursday linky party~

How chic! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! My son would love the cart.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought - why you, of course! What a great and useful recycling idea!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Great redo. I love using sheets as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's one souped up granny cart! I have one of those, and it's got a bag stuffed in it that you can get at festivals: ugly plastic. You've inspired me to make a nicer bag, in time for the Covered Bridge Festival!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great! Looks like the fabric was just made to go with the cart. Know he'll enjoy it. xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a great re-do - love it ! I bet your little grandson will want to climb right in !
