Pretty simple step. Trace around 4 sides of the 9 Volt and add an extra quarter of an inch around the skinny sides to attach this to the main light. This will be your battery holder.

Neat. You should specify in your list of materials that the bulb is a special 9v bulb, not an LED. I just assumed it was an LED bulb.
