LED Glow in the Dark USB Tiki

LED Glow in the Dark USB Tiki
My brother is always asking me for quirky gifts for X-mas so this time when I he asked me for a LED USB Tiki (I added the glow in the dark feature) I ended having to make one.  So if you were ever in the market for a LED-Glow-in-the-Dark-USB-Tiki then your search is over.

Here's what you'll need:

Materials:
1. A USB plug - I used an old printer cable
2. An LED light taken from an existing desktop light toy (I took mine from a USB lava lamp)
3. ShapeLock Plastic.  ( I love this stuff.  You can buy it here or at other online sites: http://shapelock.com/)
4. Amazing Mold putty (you can get this at Michaels or other craft stores)
5. A mini tiki statue (the one I used was 3.75" tall, made from a heavy stone or plaster I am not sure which)
6. Glow in the dark spray paint.  This part is optional.


Tools:
wire strippers
needle nose pliers
Exacto knife
