Alien Sleep Tube

Alien Sleep Tube:
This Project runs about $25-$30 and can be knocked out in no time.

Materials Needed:
     1. Generic $10 kids Alien costume
     2. 12" concrete tube about $10
     3. Pillow
     4. Qty. 2 - 5 gallon bucket lids (one with an access por tis nice if you want to add fog later)
     5. Flat black paint
     6. Flashlight
     7. 24" x 24"x1/16" plexiglass

Steps:
     1. Cut square in tube about 18x20 (size is up to you, smaller = more stable)
     2. Paint tube and lids black ( you can try leaving the inside white to reflect light)
     3, Stuff a pillow in the body of the alien.
     4. Position the head with tape or a balloon or a smaller pillow. ( I used a balloon)
     5. Roll the plexiglass and slide into the tube (store in a warm area for a couple days and the plastic will relax against the wall of 
         the tube.)
     6.slide alien into tube.

Additions:
     Add lighting and fog for effect.
     I taped my tube to a couple of 2x4's to keep it from rolling left or right.

This project works well both laying down and standing up.
