Step 2: Glue It Together
- Use the cutter to cut the brush off the toothbrush
- Glue the curcit you made in the previouse step on top of the brush (make sure its balanced)
- Glue the toggle switch to the battery holder (this way it will be easier to operate)
- And now the twist - Glue a rubber bug on top of it all
- Make sure its balanced
- Flip the switch and see the magic happen !
tip : You can use it to scare friends :) prefferably girls :)
