Making the Holes

Use the knife to poke holes in the cup where ever you want then to go. make sure you count how many lights there are so you know how many wholes to put in the cup. Now cut the top of the cup out.

Painting the Cup.

Use the green paint and a brush to paint the cup, covering the whole thing, just not the inside.

The Lights

After the paint dries, run the light through the bottom and out through the top of cup bunching them side and making the lights fit and so the wires are not sticking out the top or bottom.

Do the lights fit? if not keep messing with them(it took me a few times).If you got the lights to fit start feeding them through the wholes wherever you want a color to be.

Decorations!

now that the glue is dry you can decorate your base. Use whatever colors or designs you want to make it look good. Be creative and have fun with it.

The"present"

On your light set if there is battery pack witch there most likely will be then its time we wrap it.

You will need scotch tape, warping paper, and ribbon.

start by taping the batteries down, make sure you you don't use electrical tape.

Now you just wrap it like you were to wrap a present. just cut wholes out for the cord and the switch.

The Finish:
