Cheap DIY Christmas Laser Light Show ~$16

When I mean cheap, these laser projectors are cheap. I bought 4 because the reviews say you'll need spare parts. I got 2 duds. The green laser doesn't work on one and the other's motor already went. Not a big deal considering people are spending considerably more and having the same issue of one of the lasers not working.

Sterilite 2.5 -Qt. Flip-Top Box

Dowels. I had some scrap square dowels laying around.

Zip ties.

Screws.

Power strip.

Plastic container big enough for power strip.

Remove the top adjustable mount. Cut the dowel to fit in the mount. Screw it to the mount.

Cut a piece that fits in the container to mount the projector to. Drill holes for zip ties. Screw it to the the top mount as shown.

Mount the laser project with zip ties. Laser should be flush to inside wall.

Drill holes in the bottom for venting and power adapter. I did them at the back because these things will be tilted up. If water does happen to get inside, it should drain.

Cut stake. Screw to mount as shown.

I had an outdoor power strip with a stake. I cut a hole in a plastic container for the plugs and stake.

I made three. I ran out of wood so I attached a plastic rod that I found. Set the motor speed to your liking. Zip tie shut, nice and tight. Done!

Comes with a little bendable tripod that fits cameras. Not bendy enough to attach to things like what a gorillapod does, but it is useful.
