Make a hackable LED ornament.

Step 9Test.

Test.
Find a base for your creation, connect a power supply and plug LEDs into the sockets in any style you like. Since the LEDs plug in you can shuffle them about at any time.

If an LED doesn't light then you may have inserted it the wrong way round. It's unlikely to have been damaged by the wrong polarity and should work when you turn it round in the socket.

Now just place it in a dark corner and marvel at your creation.

For extra style you can wrap the wires round a pencil a few times to give them random spirals.

Try the colour changing LEDs in this ornament. They look very psychedelic.
