Step 4Get Your Wire Ready.
After you have put the lights through the holes, you need your wire. Cut one strand of wire that is the length of your LED's. Here's the toughy. You need to strip the wire completely of its plasticky(pvc, maybe?)outer coating. This can be a pain if you are an idiot(such as myself) and do not have a pair of wire strippers, and have to use your teeth. Either way, you will need to take the coating off an inch at a time, since it is almost impossible to take the coating off all at once.

Well If you are as crazy as me, you can use a lighter, go outside the house and light one end, the plasticky bit will start dripping which is great fun as well. :)

Why did you choose to remove the insulation and split the stranded wires into 2?

I chose to remove the insulation and split the stranded wire into two, because it made a parallel circuit, now that I think about it, I probably should have used conductive thread. And resistors.
