FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU WANT THE LEDS
I chose the eye sockets of the skull
CUTTING/ DRILLING TIME
Cut a hole in the bottom with a drill or a sharp knife. Mine was hallow I'm not sure about all of them.
Drill holes for the eyes the same size as the LEDs were you want them.
Make a notch for the cord in the base of the object.
