- Secure the wires with wire clips.
- Add the protective backing by performing the following steps:
a. Drill holes for 6-32 screws in six locations on each plywood sheet to
attach the standoffs between the two plywood sheets.
b. Secure the six standoffs to the plywood sheet on which you’ve placed
the LEDs, using 6-32 screws.
c. To finish off the project, secure the second plywood sheet to the six
standoffs using 6-32 screws, as shown Figure 10-24.
Trying It Out..................................................................................................
We’re sure that after spending hours stringing LEDs, you’re eager to see the
fruits of your labors. (We were!) Whether you followed our lead and created
dolphins or got creative with some other shape, it’s time to turn on your
lighting display.
You can either lean the display against a wall or hang it as you would a large
picture; then enjoy the show at your next dance party.
