As we’ve mentioned before, nap time for them can be craft time for us. These two cute, inventive, economical and recyclable DIYs for the car lover(s) in your household pay tribute to the races being watched very closely as the NASCAR Sprint Series continues.  They’re both easy to execute, inventive (the second one uses a pool noodle!) and can be used indoors or outdoors, so start your engines and go.
