Disco Party Light using leftover holiday decorations

My niece is planning to have a Disco themed birthday party this year, and so we've been looking for cheap disco lights for her party.  For Halloween, we had several blinking LED light up decorative ghost that were bought from the dollar store.  While ghost would be fine for a Halloween party... they probably would not do well for a Disco party.  I contemplated taking the light up ghost apart to simply salvage the LED, but didn't want to destroy the decoration which we will probably use next Halloween.  So, I came up with this simple idea for turning a Halloween decoration into a really cool light-up disco light.

 

Supplies:
1 Cardboard box
1 random LED Holiday light-up decoration
1 sheet of tinfoil
1 sheet of tissue paper
1 sheet of construction paper, poster-board or mat-board that fits over box opening.  Can also use a pre-cut mat frame.
Tape
scissors

Optional
1 can of spray paint- Black works best -OR- Wrapping Paper -OR- Construction paper
Color tissue paper
Glue
Stapler
Exacto knife
velcro
2 inch Brads

Step 1 Prepare a box

The first step is to spray paint a cardboard box.  You ideally want to find a box that is just slightly bigger than whatever your light-up holiday decoration is.  If the box is too big, the decoration might not provide enough light to be visible.  You only need to spray paint the outside of the box.  In my case, the decoration will probably be used in a very dark room, so I wasn't concerned about neatness.  Cut the flaps on the open end of the box to about 1 inch.  You want to leave a little bit of the box flap on the box to tape a mat frame.  Insert tin foil to the back of the box and tape.  The inside of the box will not be visible, so don't worry too much about neatness.

If you don't have spray paint, you can alternatively use construction paper or wrapping paper to cover the outside of the box.  It won't look as neat, but in a dark room, it will do just fine for a decoration.
