####what you need to know before making this####
The 'floor' I used was the floor of my mezanine which divides my room into two 'floors', this made it easier to reach foth sides of it.
I used a low energy consuming neon bulb, it produces very little heat and should not be a fire risk...
But I do not hold responsibility for any damages caused to you or your house as a result of making this project.
HAVE FUN MAKING!!! :D

***What you'll need for this step***
>Floor
>Drill
>Electric saw
---First you have to decide on what shape you want it to be...
I Suggest you draw up a couple of sketches, also keep in mind
the amount of materials you have available. I wouldnt recommend
to make it bigger than A4 sized because of the materials youre
using.
---Second, you should sketch out a rough drawing of the hole on
the surface that you are cutting(floor).
---Now use the drill to make a hole all the way through the
floorboards so that you can stick the sawblade through.
---Next, saw carefully around the shape you drew...making sure to
keep to the line. If you did this, the piece you cut should
fall out easily.(make sure you keep this piece, it will be very
important in step 4)
There you go...you have the hole.

white leds will do the same effect
also you will decrease the height of the box
you may not even need a box just the holes in the wood and glass
