How to make an LED Spinnie/ Rollie/ LED Cylinder!

How to make an LED Spinnie/ Rollie/ LED Cylinder!

Well, at first I was making some of these, and I was also making some of these as well (kind of.)

I really wanted to put something into the Get the LED Out! Challenge, then this idea just popped into my mind like how you pop popcorn! Mmmm, popcorn. Yum.

So, here's how to make and LED Spinnie, LED Rollie, or a cool LED Cylinder tubish thing with only a few pieces, and most of them are K'nex!

I hope you like it!

Thanks for the +1! I have not won ANYTHING on Instructables yet except for a patch and some stickers Eric sent me. I'll be really happy if I win the random prize for the LionBrand Yarn challenge, this contest, and the Share the Love contest. Good luck!
