We all know that restorations can become quite costly, which is why we found new ways to spruce up that old VW that’s been sitting in your garage, or even your yard. We saved you the hassle of spending countless hours scrolling through webpages on how to make the most of your classic VW and found a variety of fun VW crafts that everyone can enjoy.
If all you have is a pile of spare parts, don’t worry, there’s a craft for virtually any accessory on a classic VW, or any car for that matter.
Hubcaps seem to be the most popular part to redesign into a Pinterest worthy piece of art. You can paint a VW hubcap to look like the front of a VW Bus or use it as a clock face or even a lamp shade. Yes, a lamp shade; we told you there were crafts for everyone to enjoy.
One of the most interesting ways we’ve seen enthusiasts use random parts is by modifying the hoods. VW hoods are cool to turn into chairs after being bent and welded. Although it sounds tough, it’s actually more fun than it sounds. Most car restorers are also great fabricators and can help you shape your hood in no time.
Some of the more popular VW furniture pieces are bars made from the front of VW Buses or benches and tables made out of tailgates. Others have taken it to the extreme and turned the entire classic VW body into lofted beds and sofas.
And others have just kept their VW where they lie and nature has taken over to create some pretty amazing garden features.
Whatever parts you have, we can assure you there is a craft for everyone to enjoy. If you plan on actually restoring your classic VW, let JBugs help you with all your restoration needs; from cables, door parts and drink holders to suspension, tires and windshields, we have you covered.
