Intro: Flying Candy!

With covid-19 taking over out lives we are forced to adjust. Adjusting doesn't always have to be a bad thing though! Halloween is just around the corner and we NEED to stay 6 ft apart so why not have some fun with it. If you're planning to give out candy this year let's make it intresting. The goal is to make a pendulum in order to make our candy buckets look like its flying.

STEP 1:

STEP 2: Bucket Chioces

Step 1- Decide what bucket you're going to use.

Step 2- Decide if you want to decorate the bucket if you do you may look to step 3-5 for inspiration.

Step 3- I sculpted with cardboard and secured it with masking tape as well as covered all the cardboard with masking tape. Thus preparing the cardboard for paper mache.

STEP 3:


Step 4- I then used a paper mache mixture of all purpose glue and water ( 2 parts glue 1 part water ) to paper mache the carboard with news papers.

Step 5- once the paper mache was dry I painted over it with acrylic paint.

STEP 4: Assembling

Step 6- Decide where you would like to give out candy and put your command hook at the appropriate height. I put mine above on the door frame.

Step 7- Tie your Fishing line to the handle of your candy bucket.

STEP 5:


Step 8- Loop through the fishing line through the command hook and adjust the height of your candy bucket.

Step 9- Once you have decided the height of your candy bucket you can then tie the fishing line to the command hook to then secure your now hanging candy bucket.

STEP 6: DONE
