Noizy Santa Mummy

Noizy Santa Mummy

What happened? Many years ago Santa Claus died in an accident. His little helpers wanted to conserve him and mummified his body before they buried him. All children of the world were sad, because Santa was dead, so a good willing daddy tried some mystic magic to get him back to life... It worked, well, not really, Santa waked up on halloween to terrify the world....

Last year I wanted to join the Santa Pede Challenge from Hackaday, but I never had the time to modify a dancing and singing santa to something walking. So I had this "Dancing Santa" still lying around. Today I came up with the idea to modify it to a scaring halloween mummy. I did some simple circuit bending mods and moved the LEDs from down to the top, covered the whole Santa with gauze bandage and thats it! Follow the instructable to make your own!

Step 1Material and Tools


So here is what you need:
  • Dancing Santa Figure.(I got mine on Ebay, it dances and "sings" "Jingle Bells", If you use another version, the electronic might differ, but you should be able to adopt the mods)
  • wire (two different colors)
  • solder, soldering iron
  • some handy tools
  • a rotary tool (DREMEL)
  • gauze bandage
  • water color and brush
  • some resistors: 3x 1M, 1x 470k
  • electrical tape
