If the hole for the LED socket is small enough that the socket fits tightly,
this “press fit” will hold it in place; if the socket is a little loose, use a
little glue to secure it to the pumpkin. Read about what kind of glue to
use in Chapter 3.
- Make sure that the on/off switch is in the off position and then attach
the battery snap connector to a filled battery pack. - Place the battery pack in the pumpkin.
