start with a plane & squared format. afterwards bend and form them. let your creativity rock the whole procedure.
don´t tie the laces too strong. better to wait until you found your final arrangement.
The Arrangement & the Light Part

i chose to build something like a tower, eight tapes in a row, 12 rows high.
pull the laces tight.
install the light and hang it into the sculpture you built. see other instructables for electric installations.
