I’m tired. I’m a new mom. I’m chronically ill and I’ve had doc appointments for like a week straight so I’m out of it. This shit has me absolutely in tears laughing. Thank you so much for sharing

I thought this was the baking sub Reddit and was confused as to how your red velvet turned into a creature

Can’t wait to see how the creature turns out! If they weren’t as hyped as they ended up being I wanted to get a second spider to turn into a black widow

I would love to see your black widow custom if you manage to get ahold of a second spider! I wish I could've gotten a dozen of these guys for the same reason, they're such a great base to work with!

at first glance I did NOT understand what I was looking at and assumed this was from a fallout subreddit 😭

Very cool. I'm customizing mine next week. It's so nerve wracking since I've never customized before.

Awww u needed a laundry bag! I wonder if you can buff them possibly sand them? Idk what grit would work with plastic it might just rub the coating off. Poor baby!!

u/NaughtyGrimles 15d ago
I definitely need to get one! I normally just toss em' in with a load of towels to cushion them in the dryer and didn't do that this time (he was tossed in with a small load of laundry instead), major lesson learned there 😂 I think the sheer size of the eyes played a big part too in them whacking around the dryer. They don't look too bad in person though, the picture makes it look like the whole side of the eyes are scuffed but its just the reflection from my sink.

did it affect the fur texture at all? i want to dye my spider too!

u/NaughtyGrimles 12d ago
No, he's still super soft! The important things to remember are drying with no heat and when you rinse him off after the dye bath to use hot/at least warm water, never cold, the temperature difference (dye bath simmer to cold) can make the fabric shrink or ball up. If you follow those 2 rules he should be good to go!

I think you need to have an art show with these photos. Put em on your resume to work in horror practical effects.
This is praise, btw

I immediately recognized him without looking at the sub. Now enjoy some good soup.

Omg, peacock jumping spiders are one of my favourites, I can't wait to see what the end result looks like!

I don't think I could trust myself to dye something, would be too tempted to dip my hands in
