Happy Star Night Light

I am kind of obsessed with star objects in general and I saw the nice Instructable on making a Shoji-Style Table Lamp and thought I could modify it to make a little ambient lighting for our office/guest bedroom.

I should add that I made this as a present for my husband who was working a gig where he had to be up on the computer every morning at an unreasonable hour when it was still dark out and I wanted to give him something to brighten the room up. I looked at making some other instructables but I didn't have the materials so I made something new with what I had on hand. He loves it, said it made him feel happy when he had to be on conference calls at six in the morning.

Step 1 Scrounge around the house....

I just made it with stuff I had lying around:
Plastic Bottle
Leftover Christmas lights
Christmas light box
Scrap cardboard
Printer Paper (good use for those one-line internet waste pages- although firefox somehow seems to have stopped our printer from doing that so I wound up using fresh paper mostly)
Chopsticks
Glue
Scotch Tape
Scissors
Soldering Iron (optional)
