What this video covers

Wicked Makers hosts Jay and Jaimie demonstrate how to upcycle plastic milk jugs and water bottles into convincingly creepy spider egg sacs for Halloween. By combining recycled containers with clear Christmas ornaments, hot glue, spray paint, and acrylic washes, they create lumpy, organic-looking props at very low cost. The build is family-friendly and completable in a single afternoon, making it an accessible project for decorators of any skill level. Optional string lights can be added inside for an eerie glowing effect.

Key takeaways

  • Plastic milk jugs and recycled bottles serve as the zero-cost base structure for the egg sac shape
  • Clear Christmas ornaments hot-glued to the surface create the bumpy, egg-cluster texture
  • White spray paint plus acrylic paint weathering gives a convincing organic, fleshy finish
  • Stretched spiderweb material ties the prop into a broader spider-themed display
  • String lights can be tucked inside for an optional glowing interior effect

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
