Spray paint the inside of all paper cups preferably with silver color because it is most reflective color for light.

Once the paint is dried, insert all the cups in the foam board template. If the paper cups are loose, paste them using hot glue or adhesive.

Poke a hole at the bottom of each paper cup.

Starting assembling the LED light by passing each LED individually in each cups. That's why I took 72 cups because there were 72 LED's in my LED string light.

If the LED is loose, paste it using glue or adhesive.

Close the template in cylindrical shape and cover it from top and bottom. Either hang it from an arrangement from top or place it on a tripod or stand through an arrangement at the bottom.
