Zombie Zipper - Halloween Carnival Ride

I created this ride in response to Laura Carson’s (Artfully Musing) challenge to create an additional piece for the Halloween Carnival.  It resembles a Zipper carnival ride.  It does not have all the movement of the actual ride, but when it turns on the central access point the cauldrons swing and turn. Please check out Laura’s carnival with videos and tutorials - a fantastic project - on her blog.





I documented the supplies, tools and steps I used to make this project both in written format and a series of videos.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will do my best to answer.
