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.

1. Command hook

2. Fishing Line

3. Your chioce of bucket

4. Cardboard

5. All Purpose Glue

6. Water

7. News paper

8. Bowl

9. Tape

10. Acrylic Paint

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 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 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 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.
