Easy Early Bronco Christmas Tree Ornaments - UTFLIWGYA - 12-18-2011

So, as we get closer to Christmas...my daughter asks me for a Pink EB for Christmas. Now me...wanting her to have just that, set off to solve the dilemma, hence the creation (and customization) of the EB Ornament.

Step 1: Take an EB toy, I used the Gray EB from Jada's line of Big Time 4 Wheelin' (found at Wal-Mart and ToysRUs).

Step 2: Disassemble the main components.

Step 3: Further disassemble with the help of a dremel to round out the overlap of die cast metal.

Step 4: Drill a small hole in the top of the EB for the eyelet. Attach eyelet.

Step 5: Prep the body and top for painting (I used a coat hangar and some hot glue so that I could manipulate the pieces as I painted).

Step 6: Allow to dry and reassemble.

Step 7: Have the Kiddos hang them on the tree. I went ahead and made my Son a similar set-up with the pre-painted Red and White EB. Enjoy!

That looks really cool. I really like the red/white one! I think you have more time invested in prepping/painting them than Clay had in painting his whole rig Big Grin

Very creative. You spent some time on that! I'm sure she will remember her pink bronco every year from now on.

Glad everyone enjoyed the "How To" Ornament piece. I can't take credit for the painting of the Red/White EB.....some machine in China did that job Smile

Wishing you all the very best this Christmas!! Happy Holidays!! Brian
