Introduction: LED Cloud!
This is how to make a super cool light up cloud for your room. :)
Step 1: Paper Lanterns
First you'll have to order, or go get, all the supplies. In total, the things I bought cost $22. For the lanterns, I recommend getting 5 of them. I used four, which works, but the cloud turned out to be more of a ball, since I didn't use an odd number.
Step 2: LED Strip Lights
I ordered all my stuff off Walmart.com. The strip lights I got were only $5 and have been working great. You can get as long of a strip as you like, but the one I chose was 6ft.
Step 3: Polyester Stuffing
You'll need quite a bit of this stuff.
Step 4: Hot Glue/Gun
If you don't already have a hot glue gun, you'll need to get one. And get lots of glue sticks. Trust me, you can't have to much hot glue for this project.
Step 5: Assembly
First tie all the lanterns together, and make sure to leave a loop at the top for hanging.
Then wrap the LEDs all around the lanterns, using the adhesive back, or hot glue.
Next, a little at a time, hot glue the polyester all over the lanterns, covering it completely.
Step 6: Finishing Up
Then hang it on a hook in the ceiling, and get it all plugged in.
Step 7: All Done!
Turn off all the lights and light it up! I was very happy with the way mine turned out, and its very relaxing too. :) I also got some LEDS to put on the wall opposite my cloud to contrast colors. Thats it, enjoy!
