Step 5Cut hole for LED

Cut hole for LED
Take your Dremel tool again and begin drilling a hole for your LED. Take your time, because if you cut it too big, the LED rattles around. I cut a hole too big on my first tin and I had to do it completely over.

Gradually increase the hole in size, and take breaks in between an stick the LED in the hole to see if it fits or not. Continue doing it until the LED fits firmly in the hole.

I wrapped a piece of electrical tape around my two LED leads, to keep them from coming in contact with the metal tin.
