Step 12Glue the front
Flip the tree over, and start filling the LED holes with glue, so that you end up with a little mound of glue poking out of each hole.
The glue sets slightly opaque, which helps the light to appear more even from a wider range of angles. The LEDs by themselves send out light in a fairly tight 20 degree cone, which you would only see properly if standing right in front of the tree.
Initially we tried embedding some tiny glass beads in the glue to create a sort of "sparkling" look, which sort of worked, but also made the lights too dim. So we dug them out and re-glued the holes.
