My Version of the Car Play Mat.....

A couple of years ago, I made this Car Play Mat out of scrap pieces of fabric that I had left over from making puppet theaters. I, originally, made it with the intent to add it into my product line at craft shows.....but after making just the one, I realized that it would be too time consuming to produce in bulk...This is what I came up with....
This is the inside of the Mat

This is the outside fabric of the play mat - with a pocket for storing the cars - when on the go!

When it is all folded up....it's a little bag!
Sadly, this will be a one of a kind for me. Too time consuming, but I did enjoy making it. The little boy that received this LOVED IT! So it was all worth it in the end!



Thanks for stopping by....please leave comments!

  1. That's so cute!! I made a car play mat, too. I made a separate bag for it, but I love the idea of it folding up into it's own carry case. Perfect!!!

  13. Your little "bag" is so cute! Very sweet idea - and i know what you mean about some things just being too much of a schlepp to make again, a few of my crafts are "one of a kinds", hehe. But so you learn i suppose. :)
