This a Starry Night Lamp, but it's RAINBOW colored.

Cut out a 2 circles size of the tin can, then cut a long strip of the board and paste them together according to the above pictures. Next you can paint it as you want and stick the switch to the stand.

Use the popsicle sticks to make a cross or a plus sigh and attach it to the inside top of the can. Then use the drill or the nail with hammer to make a tiny hole to attach the motor as show in the photos. Next paste two papsicle sticks to the side of the motor and top part of the stand as shows in the photos at the top.

Use the wires to connect the components together, here is the circuit diagram I made using Thinker cad below. And you must attach the led on the top of the stand according to a circle.
