The materials are as follows-
   -two ultrta bright leds
   -garbage bag
   -8 pin dip chip holder
   -rubberband
   -paper
   -arduino
   -4 ft pvc pipe, 1/2 or 3/4 inch
   -wire for connecting

Prepare the Chip Holder

solder all 4 pins on each side to a wire for each side.

Insert Leds

put the leds in parallel across the holder and bend out each one.

Code

not much more to say. connect red wire from led assembly on pin 10 and black on ground here it is-

void setup() {
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(10, HIGH); 
delay(3000); 
digitalWrite(10, LOW); 
delay(100); 
}               

Packaging It Up

take the arduino board and crumple some paper around it.
finish with a full sheet and wrap it around the crumpled sheets
pull the trash bag over the assembly and rubber band it at the bottom with the pvc

Completion

stick the pvc pipe in the ground and power the arduino.
