Thread: completed my spider sac

Tweet

well we looked at quite a few all over the internet and combined ideas with some new ones of our own.

It's hard to see but I'd guess it's around 3 foot tall.We started of with a chicken wire structure which was then coverd in some fleecy white plant blanket fro the £1 shop.. then a good coating of expanding foam.It's best not to try and get it too even as I think it looks better rough..Once dried it had a coat of black then some brown dry brushed over the top.

Hubby had an idea to light it up with some green LEDS from inside. and it's just as well he didn't try and cover it completely with black as the lights shine through great!!!! we have tried to take some photos but they aren't the best quality.Sorry

The leds have been soldered into some speaker cable that runs down the inside and out of the top. It was funny watching him constantly getting his arm stuck feeding the wires from the leds.But you cant see any wires or leds from the outside now..

It was then covered in some web and we will pop on a few spiders on the night. Not sure to run it off some batteries just inside the access hole in the bottom or wire it into the ATX supply with everything else.

He will have a blue led spotlight shining on it like in the photo on the night.

Very very nice. Curious...how many cans of Great Stuff did you use?

probably a can and half of the small sized can. the one that's around the size of a can of lager. I was going to do a much smaller one to go alogside, buut used the remaining half can to start another pumpkin lol

Very different spider sac I love it.

Very nice. I was try thinking of doing a spider prop this year. You may have just made up my mind.
