One of my goals for this years display was to have a couple animated props. My choice: A Peeper.
The idea is to have an old looking tree stump with a head/skull that rises and lowers. Nothing real fancy, just something with a little movement.
I started with a 10" sono-tube as the base.
I cut it about 24" tall. It actually was about 2" too small. I should have used a 12" sono tube but I made do with what I bought. If you notice, it has 1" 'wings' so the arm wouldn't hit the sides of the tube. It doesn't really matter since it will be covered with foam.
