PVC Light cover and Yabbie

[yd1]

I drew a Yabby shape on the pvc and cut it out with a Dremel. - Folded it into place with a heat gun - legs made from coat hangers - feelers made from zip ties and 40lb fishing line coloured in with black marker - stuck it together with hot glue gun

The fake bamboo was made by scuffing up the pvc with 40 grit sand paper - giving it a few coats with black sponge applicator shoe polish - green spray paint over the top - then go over with shoe polish again - put a couple of beads of hot glue to make the bamboo rings and colour them in with black marker
 

 

I also fancied up the pvc Yabby homes with 2 dollar shop river stones and fake grass from ebay

Tried hot glue but that was too weak  - silicone provided the hold I was after
 

 

also had to make a stand to raise it off the bench a little -

@yd1 that's some mighty creative work there. Well done.

Thanks Jayc - I tend to cut first and ask questions later but sometimes the first attempt works out ok?
