LED Christmas Tree Topper - Restoration Hardware

So when it comes to Christmas....I pull out all the stops. I saw a like design in a retail store ($100) and wanted to see if I could make one for myself. Along the way I decided that it would look great as a tree topper or just as a wall ornament. In any case, what could be cooler than this project that gets pulled out each year for the holidays and becomes a great family memory.

I created a video covering all the steps. I will also outline all the steps.....

To complete this project, you will only need to purchase 2 items:

1) copper fairy led lights - length of about 20+ bulbs - bought for $2 on ebay

2)18 gauge copper wire

Other items you should have

1)small brad nails

2)small cut of plywood

3)drill

4)soldering iron

Copy your shape to the wood work surface and drill holes in locations to bend wire. Bend all your arms of the snowflake.

Solder the arms of the snowflake together. I choose to only solder one connection from each snowflake to make rapping the led lights easier.

Ok..time to rap your LED lights around the snowflake. Take your time here and space your LEDs carefully.

So I powered my LED with a 120v transformer that I had laying around my house. You could do this or just power it by the included battery pack. All your choice!

Merry Christmas to you all!
