Beanie Boo Fashion Project


On Thursday I got a hole in my sock and I had just got a Beanie Boo (the adorable things in the pic)
So Adi and I made a sweater, wrist warmers, and a hat ( the one in the middle is wearing it)
We had so much fun doing it we did 2 others. We have 2 more to go, but we decided to do a fashion show for our mom and dad. they liked Giraffe the best...








This cute puppy has on a rain coat and boots made from a surgical glove
As you can see it didn't work that well, he's missing a boot.
   






This little guy only got a vest 'cuz his 
arms are too short.





And now the best for last

Makenzie's Science - The Scribble Machine




On Saturday Dad and I made a contraption that I call "The scribble machine"
I found the original plans on instructables.com but we made a few modifications...




                      

First from an old computer that I had taken apart, we snapped 3 blades off a fan to make it wiggle

Next through holes in the corners, I attached markers with zip ties

For the power source, we used a car battery charger and connected the wires to the clamps....


After that we discovered that to turn it off you had to unplug it, so Dad put a button in the circuit








Here are a few tips if you make a Scribble Machine,
Don't let the negative and positive clamps touch, the fan will burn up.
So this does not happen, wrap at least one clamp in electrical tape. 
DO NOT put your finger in it while it's running!!!!!
Bad things will happen.
