Create Real working iPod Costume(s)

Step 10 Back in the Red....

I cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the inside of the window, then use the hot glue gun to attach.  To give it a smoky look, I used a thin white cutting board(.99 cents store) and place it on top of the plexiglass from the inside the box.  Glue that on top of the plexiglass.  This will give your lights a cool blur...

Since the box is basically completed, let's focus on the internal lights.  I created a light box by measuring the size of the window, then making a box that would fit over the window from the inside.  The key is to make sure the box is about 3" in depth.  This allows room for the wiring & lights that will be glued onto the back of the light box.  I created a wiring harness coupled with a switch that I attached to one side to control the power.  Since we don't have an AC Adapter, we're have to use batteries.  Most common batteries are 1.5volts, I chose to use "D" x 8 to power this iPod.  The amount of batteries may seem a lot, but it really depends on how long you intend on using the lights for.  An evening of trick or treating is sufficient for me, you can use less if that works better for you.
