Step 5: Assembling the Lamp

Set up the box with the short end down, glue the motor down to the bottom of the box, attach either side of a rope to a flashlight, creating a loop, with light facing up, tape the top of the loop to the top of the box and hang the flashlight down into the balloon net

Step 6: Making It Move

insert 4 batteries into a battery pack and use 4 alligator clips to attach the motor to the positive and negative sides of the battery pack, the platform should begin to spin
