Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

In my last post I said I'd been painting wheels. Then I got the bright idea to put lettering on the wheels. Love those water decals. Well sort of. I printed them out, cut them to shape, put them in water, took the decals off and had I thought about it I would have realized...the white isn't printed on the paper...it IS the paper so all I got was the black around the letters. Had a good laugh over THAT one. Though it doesn't look as good as if it were the decals, I printed them off on regular paper and just glued them on.

This is one layer. The wheels are actually four layers thick.




This is the side view of a "full tire."
Then I took one of the Michael's hutches I bought unfinished for a buck and painted it and added the flowers on the top using a water decal. I will fill it with towels and toiletries as it is for the bathroom in the bus.
