I was at a FAB14 conference and feeling guilty of being a whole week without my son I wanted to make him a gift :) We had a whole hall with all the tools and materials available so I decided to make him this lamp.

Step 2: Vertical Part Assembly

Just glue the opaque parts from both sides of the transparent bear silhouette and slide it into the rails on the top of the LED strip (described in next part)
