Let's make a BIG spider toy You should be able to make yours in less than 30 minutes. This video is virtually shot in real time with minimal editing so it runs for about 30 minutes. See also Wow! That's a Big Spider https://youtu.be/lQpDvbOVJQ4 I have based this on a video uploaded by Arvind Gupta https://youtu.be/3J-7KNqFfP8 with a small change. I have added a couple of discs/wheels on each end of the battery which seems to make it run better. You could try it without and see how you get on. Check out Arvind's video to see the difference. The battery is used for it's weight, there is no electricity used in this project. If you don't have a suitable battery you might be able to fill a tube with modelling clay or find some other way of making a suitable weight. Components - Large Plastic Pop Bottle (2 litre) Dead battery (size D) Rubber bands 2 matches or cocktail sticks Sticky tape Pizza tray String (about 2 metres) Balloon Tools - Scissors Hobby knife Hot Glue Gun Felt tip pen Sharp pointed tool for making holes Spray paint or coloured tape or coloured pens to decorate the completed spider My playlists Simple projects https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB2HXSqJPl6Kv9J_pHHp4cIF Other Toys https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1SpcRUbQErqNV7E7ulMth- Rubber Band Power playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1otXh0w36OwsYIHZznUWp6 Spiders https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0AvQhddIhMNnK9jbX0C2iM My Channels GrandadIsAnOldMan https://youtube.com/@GrandadIsAnOldMan GrandadsOtherChannel https://youtube.com/@GrandadsOtherChannel Put a rubber band on it https://youtube.com/@Putarubberbandonit Number4 https://youtube.com/@Number4GIAOM You can help keep my channel running with coffee and cakes at Kofi https://ko-fi.com/grandadisanoldman Merchandise on RedBubble https://rdbl.co/2yJv56H Merchandise on Direct http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/ Merchandise on Teespring https://grandadisanoldman.creator-spring.com/ Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/grandadisanoldman Tinkercad https://www.tinkercad.com/users/fqjxiYyhfjE Cults https://cults3d.com/en/users/GrandadIsAnOldMan Playlists GrandadIsAnOldMan https://youtube.com/@GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists GrandadsOtherChannel https://youtube.com/@GrandadsOtherChannel/playlists Putarubberbandonit https://youtube.com/@Putarubberbandonit/playlists Number4 https://youtube.com/@Number4GIAOM/playlists I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk I am happy for you to show my content as part of your projects or in public settings, as long as you clearly credit GrandadIsAnOldMan.
