The first thing I did was put the LEDs into the cup. I just poked them through and then bent the leads to keep them in place. Make sure that you leave enough space for the pipe cleaner to wrap under the LED so that there's no gap in the green-ness of the tree.

Also, space the lights out so they look nice.

Don't worry if they fall over a little bit now. You can hot glue them straight in a little bit (Just not before you solder. Otherwise the glue will melt from the heat of the iron.)
