One day while taking my son's bike to get a new tire at the bike shop right around the corner from our apartment, my daughter spotted a tiny pink bike, just her size. She had a great time riding it around the shop. At the time she just had a tricycle for herself, which she was quickly outgrowing. I suddenly had the idea to transform my son's old 12" [black, Batman] bicycle, which was in dire need of a new wheel, into a pink princess bicycle for my daughter.
When first considering the project I thought it would be fairly straightforward. Take parts off, take stickers off, spray paint, put parts back on, done. However, when I got down to the point of having everything off, I got really intimidated and let it sit for a couple days just thinking, "What on earth did I get myself into?" Thankfully my determination won out and I pushed through to the end.
This is when I started to panic a bit. (I apologize for the crappy photo) |
Ta da! |
I'm so happy it turned out so well. Now on to my other 5,378 projects. :)
