Spider project


I pulled the gutter worms ( a leaf blocking system similar to large pipe cleaners) that I used to have in my gutters when we had our new gutter covers installed. The left overs made nice spider legs. I attached them to a cloth-covered octagon. The body mounts on a small detachable post. The LEDs from an old solar spot light got rewired into the ping-pong ball eyes so they solar charge during the day and glow at night.

I am hoping to augment the scariness of the project by building a remote controlled spider on top of a radio controlled car. Chasing trick-or-treaters with a spider on Halloween should be great fun. :-)
