我創(chuàng)造了這個巨型機器人來安全地在萬圣節(jié)分發(fā)糖果
The year 2020 has been interesting, to say the least, so it’s not surprising that Halloween is a bit different too. Last year, my husband, toddler, and I dressed up as pirates and handed out goodie bags and glow sticks. But this year, like many other folks, we decided to go for a more hands-off approach by adhering to social distancing guidelines.
至少可以這么說,2020年是很有趣的一年,所以萬圣節(jié)也有些許不同也就不足為奇了。去年,我還在蹣跚學步的丈夫和我裝扮成海盜,分發(fā)糖果袋和熒光棒。但是今年,像其他許多人一樣,我們決定采取一種更不干涉的方式,遵循社交距離指南。
This candy holder is made out of cardboard boxes and is almost 8 feet tall. It has an acrylic window that displays all the candy capsules. The capsules rest on a ramp and continuously roll towards the tray as the tray is being emptied. Thought this would be a great idea to maintain social distancing while trick or treating!
這個糖果盒是用硬紙盒做成的,差不多有8英尺高。它有一個顯示所有糖果膠囊的丙烯酸窗口。膠囊停留在一個斜坡上,并持續(xù)滾動到托盤上直到被清空。我覺得這是個好主意,可以在玩“不給糖就搗蛋”的游戲時保持社交距離!
I had some cardboard boxes lying around from our recent move, which gave me the perfect opportunity to use them to make the giant cardboard robot
我有一些紙板箱,因為我們最近搬家,這給了我一個完美的機會來使用它們來制造巨大的紙板箱機器人
I packed candy in capsules a month ahead and “quarantined” them so there was no risk of them being contaminated. Each two-inch capsule fit one fun-size Oreo chocolate and one robot tattoo.
我提前一個月將糖果包裝成膠囊,并對它們進行“隔離”,這樣就沒有受到污染的風險。每個兩英寸的膠囊裝上了一個有趣大小的奧利奧巧克力和一個機器人紋身。
When building the robot, I didn’t realize how big it would turn out to be!
造機器人的時候,我沒有意識到它會有多大!
It is almost 8 feet tall and towers over my 3-year-old. I made the head detachable just so we could take it in and out of the house!
它幾乎有8英尺高,超過了我3歲的孩子。我把它的頭做成可拆卸的,這樣我們就可以把它帶進帶出房子了!
Here is a closer look at the window on the robot
這是近距離觀察機器人的樣子
I added a Trick/Treat meter right above it. Deciding which font to use took me some time! I tried swirly letters, block letters and in the end, settled for a font similar to Rae Dunn letters. A simple font was the best way to go!
我在它上面加了一個惡作劇/款待計量器。決定使用哪種字體花了我不少時間!我試過旋轉字母,大寫字母,最后,我選擇了類似于Rae Dunn字母的字體。簡單的字體是最好的選擇!
The back of the robot has an opening to put in all the candy capsules. The claws were secured to the dryer duct vent using zip ties and later strung up to the ceiling with a white cord.
機器人的后面有一個開口,可以放進所有的糖果膠囊。這些爪子被用拉鏈系在烘干機的風道通風口上,之后又用一根白繩子吊在天花板上。
And finally, here’s what it looks like at night!
最后,這是它在晚上的樣子!
I still have to add more lights to the yard, but this is it for now. Also, the capsules will be put into the robot on Halloween, in case you noticed the window being empty.
我還需要給院子增加更多的燈,但現(xiàn)在就這些了。此外,膠囊將在萬圣節(jié)時放入機器人,以防你注意到窗戶是空的。
The finishing touch was the lighted banner
點睛之筆是點燃的旗幟
I used white cardboard as a background. The letters were cut out of the remaining flaps of the mover’s boxes. I spray-painted them and used a circular sponge for the polka dots. The entire sign was framed using the leftover cardboard from the TV box and was later painted blue. I used globe string lights and inserted them into the “frame.”
我用了白色的硬紙板作為背景。這些字母是從搬運工的箱子上剩下的蓋子上剪下來的。我噴涂了它們,用一個圓形的海綿做了圓點。整個廣告牌是用電視盒剩下的紙板裱起來的,后來被漆成了藍色。我使用球形串燈并將它們插入“框架”中。
