It was for a father & son who hunt coon. His son was having his 1st. child, a boy. So he wanted something really special for the couple & his 1st. grandchild.
I've made motorcycles, 3 wheelers, this is my 1st. quad runner. 4 wheeler. And first raccoon. I had to make it cute besides!

I found camouflage receiving blankets, Little boots at a thrift shop (like new), even a small rifle at the dollar store! -Raccoons should never use firearms.
Camo baby booties, Camo ribbon, & CUTE baby bibs/ fenders...
The bibs sure make cute license plates, and cover up the axel, (a paper towel roll)... read on,
Here are some of my diaper brigade....
Dog Days...
I use a frying pan to roll my wheels, about 30-35 diapers per wheel, but it really depends on how big you want your wheels. What also matters is, what size diaper you use. A Larger diaper size means, a larger wheel. A Toilet paper roll is inserted in the middle, for a single wheel, as you roll......
Paper towel rolls are used for the rear axel. Then the receiving blankets are rolled tightly, slipped through the paper towel roll, & secured with a rubber band. Then hidden within the paper towel roll.
It should all cradle together like this when you're done. Holding itself nicely together.
Here are items I used for a Minnie Mouse...I've done a couple Minnies...Granted, these can get pricey to make. You must shop dollar stores for your new baby materials. For the stuffed animals, I buy them clearanced, reduced, or barely used. It all saves $$$
The headlights are baby bottles, with a baby washcloth tightly wrapped around & secured with a rubber band.
Side view of Minnie..The handles are another receiving blanket, wound tightly, woven through the front diaper & drawn up, over the baby bottle headlight. Secured again, with a rubber band. The rubber bands are hidden by curly ribbon. Baby socks are handle bar grips, & hide the ends of the receiving blanket.
On her way to the shower!
I've even done a Mickey...
Which is cute, because it has my name stamped on it! NOTE: One more tiny detail...If you want to really show off.....and I have, Get a tea light. Just before the shower, open the back of the baby bottle, which is cradled in the crotch of your stuffed animal, & kind of hidden. Turn on the tea light. Slip it into the bottle, secure the cap, & you have a working headlight! Does it get any cuter?

I think the most challenging part for me was...making the wheels. Pinterest "diaper bikes" & watch the tutorials they have. Once you can ace that, I'd say to make sure your stuffed animals size, fits proportionately to the size of your bike or 4 wheeler. Write me here if you get stuck. I know you can do it! Takes pics & post.
