🧵 I start with an empty plastic bottle of nicotine. I keep only the cap, I will use it as a body. I drill 4 holes at the top and bottom. I pass a gardening wire inside, it will be the armature for arms and legs.
🧵 I use a set of necklace beads to create the shoulders and pelvis ironing beads are great for arms and legs, you can also cut them easily. Here I cut some in half to make the toes for example. Heart shaped beads make excellent hands
🧵 The main function of this gardening robot will be to trim the hedges, so I add large scissors. I add more and more beads, the very small ones are ideal for rivets.
Protips: I use an old battery operated nail file to file down the plastic parts so that the glue can stick to them better, which has two advantages: - You don't need expensive tools, you can also recycle them - I have perfect nails.
🧵 These robots are also flower pots, they are self-powered by the plant that grows inside. I had started to build them a small environment from branches and string where they could garden in peace but I have too much work to finish... In the meantime a horrible hairy monster discovered their hiding place and OH NO NO NO
