Simple LED flowers

Simple LED flowers

Hello, and please enjoy my awesomely simple to make LED flowers. I came up with the idea for the flowers because of my little sisters graduation. She wanted something a little more than just a regular flower for her graduation gown. LED flowers are great for any occasion, birthdays, valentines day or any holiday. They are magnetic so they can be attached to any metal fixture for a bright night light or fridge/hood ornament. (wrap a metal wire with green tape and attach as a stem for a bouquet of LED flowers). They can be fixed on purses, backpacks, hats, or shirts with multiple magnets to make for a strong broach. Please look up "LED throwies" to help you get an idea of how it works and check out my "LED SPORELINGS" for more creative versions.

Tools needed:
-Glue gun + sticks
-Scissors

Materials needed:
-Florescent spray paint
-neon and clear rexlace (plastic lacing)
-Packaging peanuts
-10mm blue LED (preferably a non-diffused super bright)
-3v lithium battery
-Button Magnet
-Chopsticks
-Electrical tape
