Buzzing Holgate Craft

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.

Handeez Bee by Tiffany Dias.

Materials needed to make these bugs include:
- Primer
- Acrylic craft paints
- 2 White feathers (for the Bee)
- 1 Chenille stem (split in 2 to make the antennas)
- 2 Wiggle eyes
- Clear-dry craft glue
- Clear coat paint sealer (recommended)

Handeez Ladybug by Tiffany Dias.

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.

Last Stop for Our School Bus

Our Holgate School Bus is retiring. Last chance to own one.

We're about to say "Good-bye" to a treasured classic; we have limited stock on our Holgate School Bus. This piece dates back to the early-mid 90's. It will be missed!

...Until the next School Year ;-)
