Cut the Circuit Boards to Your Needs

The size doesn't matter. Its really just what you want. I cut mine around PCI slots for effect.

Don't focus so much on what size, more of the items from board you want on your lamp.

Glue Together!

I hot glued it. I am sure there are other techniques to bond these, but I went with hot glue

Cap and Mount

I used a piece of blue foam I had laying around. Use wood or another piece of circuit board if you want. Just make sure you can mount the lights to it. I wrapped them around a 1x1 piece of wood. Easy to mount because the lights have a adhesive backing. Then I hot glued the wood wrapped in led light to the foam board top cap. I left bottom off for cord exit.

Plug It In!
