Get ready for a ghost-busting adventure with our DIY Ghostbusters Proton Pack guide. Crafted from household items, this budget-friendly project promises a ghostly addition to your gear.
Materials:
- Styrofoam or cardboard for the base
- Plastic saucer drip tray for the cyclotron
- Miscellaneous plastic plumbing pipes
- Vacuum or shop vac hose
- Electrical wire
- Switch box & light switch (the older, the better!)
- Tupperware
- Pencil, eraser, ruler, Exacto-Knife
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Gorilla Tape
- Black spray paint
Building the Base:
- Cut the styrofoam or cardboard to form the base of your proton pack.
- Arrange all pieces, including the plastic saucer drip tray and plumbing pipes, in the desired formation.
Assembling the Pack:
- Spray paint all components black for that authentic Ghostbusters look.
- Use a hot glue gun to securely attach the pieces together.
Creating Straps:
- Utilize old luggage straps for authenticity.
- Drill holes through the base and tie the straps together to secure or use glue for added stability.
Final Touch:
- Add a finishing touch with black puck lights from Lowe’s (priced at $12.99). These self-adhering lights easily pop onto the cyclotron, providing the perfect glow for your proton pack.
Now that you’ve created your Proton Pack, assemble your team and get ready for a spooktacular time that will be remembered long after the ghosts are gone!
