You definitely don't need to be an electrical engineer to know how to use LED's.

i seriously dont want to put this felt on the sphere

a_n9ne · 10-11-2009, 09:58 PM

give me your old one

i might make one but its too big to wear on campus

mwmorais · 10-11-2009, 10:01 PM

this is pretty damn heavy, not sure if i will wear it to HARD. wish i knew a fabricator so make the ears out of thin sheet metal..

mwmorais · 10-11-2009, 10:02 PM

im wrapping it in a different order since i dont think id be able to mount the ears after

a_n9ne · 10-11-2009, 10:19 PM

im gonna start mine this week, maybe use styrofoam for the ears? just reinforce them with something so they dont break off, or just wood but cut out the center

Shoesus · 10-11-2009, 11:15 PM

I'm doing this for Halloween. Hoping to have as much success as you did.

Also, did you just sew the fabric onto the ball directly? No paper mache?

mwmorais · 10-12-2009, 12:59 AM

meh, not too happy with mine right now. glue spots + the styrofoam eyes look shitty. may change eyes to LEDs... and i ****ed up on the teeth blehbleh

bmwTuner1 · 10-12-2009, 01:17 AM

Thats F-ing SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want one

A F 1 G 3 · 10-12-2009, 04:42 PM

fabric should ship within the next week for me, ears look like a ***** to get on :/

mwmorais · 10-12-2009, 10:25 PM

pretty sure if i ever did this again id find some stretchy fabric like bears said. velvet spandex seems good.

PS: i found these awesome half-dome things from marshalls that are used to light up pumpkins. they come with like 5 christmas lights that pulse offbeat from one another. gonna wrap them in felt + cut out slots so the lights shine through, then use them as eyes. gonna be sweeet! now if i could only figure how to get rid of the damn glue stains

a_n9ne · 10-12-2009, 10:28 PM

everyone who made one has to post pictures of them wearing it here

Presns3 · 10-12-2009, 10:37 PM

wow, i want to make one now too...

jtmoney2k27 · 10-12-2009, 10:52 PM
