Hello!!! Today I will be showing you how to build the L.E.D Tester and Container Jar. I always lose my leds and mix my burnt ones with the good ones. To get rid of this problems and protect my leds from getting lost I built this project. Its stores the leds in the jar and you can test if they work on the lid. If you like it or find it useful please vote for me in the Mason Jar challenge, Make it glow contest, and the Protected contest.

Gather the Materials!

In the inside of the lid we will be putting a battery to test out the leds.
First we will be drawing two small holes for the wires for positive and negative to go through and reach the top of the lid and we'll have another hole to get the led out of the container.

Tape Everything Down.
