Buzzing Holgate Craft

Handeez Bugs - Do It Yourself project by Tiffany Dias | Pepperell Braiding Company
Make your own Handeez! Bugs by Tiffany Dias.

Tiffany may have just out-cuted herself. (See her Fox Mask Project to see what we mean.) She's now made hand painted Handeez Bugs!

Made from the unfinished Handeez car shape, she primed, painted, and decorated these two cuties.

Tiffany painted the spots and stripes freehand on each of the critters. Goes to show you the Handeez are not limited to cars and trucks. Make a little bug or design your own one of a kind Handeez vehicle. Pick a specific theme or just give it a splash of your own personality. This is a wonderful DIY wood craft for both kids and adults. Use your own paint and embellishments to decorate. Design for yourself, give as handmade gifts or invite some friends over for a DIY craft party.
