Step 9: Head
Drill two holes on the head coconut piece and glue the leds.
Then add the silver rings on top of the leds.

Then add the golden mesh on the back.
Bend the shorter legs of the leds first, then place the negative pole of the battery on top, then bend the other led legs so that the battery is secured.

For the log I used a wood stick and the legs I gave three turns on the stick and then hot glued all to the body.
