Easy to Make Alien Reading Light

In this instruct able I will be showing you how to build an alien sculpture reading light for you, your kids, friends or for sale. It is easy to build for most and the parts are not hard to obtain. Normally I would do a hard instruct able like the others on this site, but I got sick of taking many trips to the hardware store for valves, Bondo, gaskets and other troublesome building implements.

Take each of your 9'' lengths and
bend at 4'', and 8'' into a ''z'' shape.

Afterwards reinforce the corners with Hot-Glue.

Glue together the two one inch segments so it looks like the picture.
then the other two must be glued perpendicular to that new piece to make the ''legs''.
Then file the four holes together.

Take the other two 9'' rods and bend them to your liking, and glue them onto the leg base.

Take the 15'' rod and bend it into a U shape at the 5'' mark and 10'' mark.
