Step 9Assemble stem and LED
Poke the LED wires down the ferule from the thin end and pull through gently.
Insert the lampshade support frame and arrange them so that the LED sits nicely in the middle of the frame.
Holding the stem, the frame and the LED with a piece of tissue (it will get hot) squirt some hot melt down inside the stem to secure them. Before it sets make sure that the wire is draped over the rim of the bottom of the stem where you make your small indent.
Trim off any excess glue, making sure NOT to cut the wires by mistake.
Glue the stem to the coin base. I used Super Glue again here, but you could just as easily use two part epoxy resin.
