Batmobile Cozy Coupe!

My husband and I wanted to get Charlie a Cozy Cruiser, but I was really not looking to pay as much as they cost at the stores.  You can't imagine how excited I was to find one for sale at a garage sale at the end of our street, literally, I mean it was about 5 houses away!  It was quite faded and an older version, clearly had been used often, so she was willing to give it to me for $4.  We bought, took it home, and pondered what to do with it.  We wanted Charlie to have something cool to ride around in, so my husband came up with the coolest idea.  Suddenly, Batmobile, blurted out of his mouth!

We already had cans of black and yellow paint, so I thought, let's do it!!

I first sprayed the yellow on all four sides and on the steering wheel.  My husband cut out the Batman symbols onto painters tape and stuck them onto all four sides.  We printed out the Batman symbol and rubbed vegetable oil on the paper before we stuck the strips of painters tape to it.  This created a sticker effect for the tape, so after we cut out the symbol we could just peel the tape off easily.  I still had letter scrapbook stickers, so I used some leftovers to stick 'BATMOBILE' across the back.

I would have to say it turned out well!
