Step 5Install the LED display.
First, with a pair of needle-nose pliers you're going to want to carefully break apart the board the display is sitting on bit by bit until it is just large enough to be functional.
Now, using fishing wire or a long piece of stripped wire you're going to make guides to pull the display into place. Tie a loop on one side through two holes as close to the segment display as possible (see picture). Then do it again on the other side.
Pass the display inside the owl. Make sure both power cables from the display reach out of the base of the owl (NOT THE GUIDE CABLES!).
Use the wires you just attached to pull the display into place.
Once it is positioned correctly, glue the top right and bottom left corner into the owl with a hot glue gun. Hold it in place until it dries.
Finally, prepare some epoxy and use this epoxy to coat around the border of the displays. Let it sit for at least an hour.
Trim the guide wires once dry.
