Roadtrip!! What’s more perfect for cruising down the open road than a vintage Kombi for you and your numero uno.

Check out this DIY for the ultimate low-emission, fully recycled
fun-mobile, straight from the Olli Ella auto shop!

• 01You will Need
  A Cardboard Box, Paint (we used used house paint for a more solid coating, but acrylic or craft paint should be fine too!) Paint Brushes, a Permanent Marker, a Box Cutter, Scissors and Sticky Tape.   
• 02Recycle
  To begin creating your Cardboard Kombi, collect an old recycled box (or two). Keep in mind that the box (or boxes) should be big enough to provide a reasonably cosy interior for two.
• 03Tape
  Once the shell of your vehicle is organised, tape any loose areas down...
• 04Cut
  ...and cut away any unnecessary parts.
• 05Join
  Then, join the two halves together. You won't need to do this if you are using a bigger cardboard box. 
• 06Draw
  Next, draw a rough outline of the shape as a guide. This part doesn't need to be perfect because you'll paint over it later. 

• 07Paint it white
  Begin painting your Kombi. Use white paint for the upper part of the van...
• 08Paint it pastel 
  ...and a pastel hue of your choice for the bottom half. 
• 09 How's it lookin'?
  Now your Kombi should look something like this.
• 10 Cut
  Wait for the paint to dry and use a box cutter to cut out the windows.
• 11 Touch ups
  Then touch up the inner edges using white paint. 
• 12 Draw
  Next, draw some side mirrors onto your cardboard scraps, making sure you leave a little tab to attach to the sides of the car.
• 13 Paint
  Paint the mirrors and, once dry, fold the tab and attach to the van using tape.
• 14 Paint
  Now paint on your front lights and your Kombi is complete!
• 15 Luggage
  Just add some cute luggage and your ready to roll...
• 16 See-ya! 
  We hope you have fun adventuring in your brand new Kombi!
