Wooden wheel customization

[kaptenanna]

Hello!

I just thought I would share a tip on how to customize a basic wooden wheel to more suit your cage-interior or just to spice it up with a bit of colour!

I thought that why not use decoupage to spice up that boring wheel a bit? For this project I used a basic 20cm Karlie Wonderland wooden wheel, thin scrapbooking/art-journaling/crafting-paper and non-toxic mod podge and two different foam brushes.

The result turned out like this:

It took about 30 minutes (not including final curing step), and to make sure that it remained non-toxic I did not use an acrylic sealer after curing the mod podge.

I hope this can inspire someone to do something similar! :-)

Ps. Sorry about my messy kitchen in the background! Haha. :)

Very cute! If I used a wooden, I would be inspired by that idea! :)

Awwww very cute! I may have to do this to Badgers wheel... Not pink hearts though, don't think he'd appreciate that ;)

Thank you both! I hope my little macho-man Puff is happy about the pink hearts. ;)

That looks great! I would have never thought to do anything like that!
I think that on the outside and plastikote on the inside would finish it off a treat x
