Over the last couple of years, I've gotten more into DIY Halloween projects. This year, I'm adding some motion.

And I thought I'd share some advice to new folks.

Don't worry about ripping stuff apart to get to something you need for your project.

And don't worry too much about how "good" it looks. You'll see everything with a critical eye and in broad daylight.

Everyone else will be seeing it at night, and won't know to see the mistakes or the "not perfect" parts. Also, most people want to be fooled. They won't look for nor see the wires or the supports.

This attitude has helped me finish a lot of projects.
