Step 8Make a Character (optional)
Now things get cute.
Create a character!
A monkey theme isn't the only possibility.
The meter can be dressed up to be almost any animal: a panda, a piggy or a rabbit.
Be creative!
The monkey fez was made from the top of a WD40 spray can.
Trace out the top onto scrap 1/4 inch wood.
Cut it out with a jigsaw and fit it to the inside of the cap.
Drill a center hole sized to fit the potentiometer shaft.
Hot glue the wood to the cap.
Next, hot glue the tassle to the cap.
To make the ears cut out a shape from scrap wood and glue them to the sides of the head.
The eyes are sheet plastic.
Find a used liquid detergent container or similar plastic product.
Use a permanent marker to draw in the eyes and cut it out with shears.
Use hot glue to mount the eyes to the face.
You are now finished!
Now wrap it up and give it away as a gift!
