Introduction: Graffiti Night Light
This is my second instructable, I made this for my girlfriend thats why it´s too girly
this is a project to make an urban looking night-stand for your room
It costs about 15$ and about 8 hours to finish it.

For this project you will need:
* Cardboard ( I reused the one that came with a hose I had bought )

Step 2: Make Your Sketch
Step 3: Cut It
Draw your sketch in the cardboard
Paint it with the acrilic paint
Wait for it to get dry for about one hour

For the circuit, I used a parallel conection for each led so the voltage could be the same for each led
* Decide where you want the leds
* Make a hole in the decided spot
* Put the led inside
* Glue them
* Make all the conections
* Test it
* Glue it all
For the second flor:

* Glue them
* Make another flor
Step 5: 2nd Deck

* Paint it
Step 6: Foamy
*Cut each sheet with the form of the desired letter with the hobby knife
