Crafty Mom trades minivan for Scion XD Hot Lava!!

Bought a 2008 with only 2000 miles last Monday. (Was a contest car- Loaded!) Got a fabulous deal. LOVE IT!! (And now I'm cool with my teenagers.)

I'm a crafty type, so I made a tutorial on making accessories for my car from placemats. (Guys, no laughing.)

still, welcome! I like what you did with the place mats. If you dont mind me asking, how did you come across ScionLife?

Also, who cares if it is stock, if you have pictures, we want to see them!

Good luck with the car and good luck with the place mat storage haha.

Welcome to SL Cathy!

Great ideas on making the holders etc.

I did the same cup holder idea that your did. I picked my material up at Michael's Crafts, they have a felt material that matches the factory ones perfectly, so I cut them out for all the cup holders, all the door handles, and the little slot next to the emergency brake.

This is a wonderful topic The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone I did the same cup holder idea that your did. I picked my material up at Michael's Crafts, they have a felt material that matches the factory ones perfectly, so I cut them out for all the cup holders, all the door handles, and the little slot next to the emergency brake.
