How To Make An LED Acorn Lantern

An acorn is the perfect size to house an LED light and battery for a different take on the LED Throwie project developed by Graffiti Research Lab. I made this one to be like a tiny lantern, but if you can buy a smaller battery than the 3V coin cell one I used the light and battery will fit completely inside the acorn.

Step 1: Step 1

Assemble as many acorns, LEDs and batteries as you see fit. Separate the acorn tops from the bottoms and choose a bottom that is slightly soft. You’ll also want to have handy a pair of scissors, electrical tape, wire, wire strippers and Elmer’s glue.

Oooooh, I love this idea. It would be so neat to make them completely enclosed and just scatter them on the forest floor... too bad the other components aren't bio degradable.
