Step 3Placing the LEDs
Once you've cut the backside it's time to place the LEDs
1. Use the glue gun to glue 2 LEDs in every corner (see photo).
Make sure you attach the positive legs of the LEDs together and the negative legs together.
2. Use the electric wire to make one circuit out of all the LEDs (see photo)
3. Place the battery in the holder and attach it to the circuit with electrical wire. Test is before gluing this to the backside.
If you tested the lights and they all work correctly, then hot glue the wires and LEDs so nothing can make contact with it anymore.
Since I used a metal frame, this is really important. If the wires are open and touch the metal frame, the LEDs wont work properly.
Note: I didn't had switch that would fit nice on the backside. So I put a small piece of plastic between the battery and the holder (see photo 3).
The LEDs will light up when I remove this piece of plastic.
