Hot Wheels Garage from Recyclables
If you have any of these….
Then you probably have too many of these….. scattered all over your house.
So we took some toilet paper roll tubes and a juice carton and made a garage.
It only fits 8 cars, but they’re fun to make, and this way he can keep a ‘garage’ or two in a few different rooms to play with at will.
Some basic instructions.
We cut folded the end down on a juice carton and taped it with duct tape.
Next we cut a long front side leaving it attached at the long top side to make a garage door that folded upward.
We cut the toilet paper tubes so they would fit in the carton without the ends sticking out.
We used a hot glue gun to glue the tubes in the garage.
Next we spraypainted the whole thing silver.
He made a ‘Jarod’s Garage’ sign for on the front of the door. (which refused to have it’s picture taken….I discovered that white on shiny silver doesn’t photograph well).
Insert cars.
The end.
Oh, and Make more garages to fit all the other cars.
