Want to impress your valentine? Make one of these at the dinner table. I know I would be more than a little aroused.

Directions for Origami Scooter

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (Yes, that goes doubly for those of you outside of the States.)

I am about to go in and tackle some asparagus but before I do, I thought I’d post this neat little craft for you in case you have some time on your hands. Besides, unlike some of the other paper models I’ve posted, this one is dead easy! I think you could almost turn it into a greeting card.

For the full-sized version to print out, please visit this link.

Here are the best sites I’ve come across with vintage scooter images and ads. Lots of good mining here for crafters and collectors alike!

Well darn me. I think I’ve waited too long to post about this fabric. The Jo-Ann Fabrics website says it’s no longer available. But it may still be available at some of their stores. Take a peek and let us know if you have any success.

Thanks to Gretchen W. for this great find.

On sale now is this cute kid’s t-shirt at Gymboree. Regularly $21.95 it’s now $9.99 and comes in sizes 3-12. For those crafters out there who are pug and scooter obsessed, snapping up a couple of these to make into a pillow or a totebag or even frameable art just might be the ticket. After all Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.

I did this embroidery earlier this year on tea towels and thought ScooterSwaggers would enjoy seeing how they turned out. The tracing pattern is from Sublime Stitching .

“Kawaii!” means “Cute!” in Japanese and if anyone is the best at doing cute, it would have to be the Japanese. These stickers can be had for $6.50 and minimal shipping. And who can resist little scooter riding cartoons encouraging you “Happy Ride!!” and “GO! GO! Through the wind!!” ???

Work your scooter ‘stache! Found on etsy.com, the creator is now all out of these little combs she reclaimed from the 80s. I think this very well may be the weirdest thing ever posted on ScooterSwag. ((Patting self on back.))

All sweetness and light, this pair are sitting pretty atop their wedding scooter. They measure 5″ tall, 4.5″ wide, and 2″ deep and are made out of paintable resin if you want to customize hair color, scooter color, etc. They’re £21 and available from a regular eBay seller.
