Cut a small and flexible piece of plastic and using a double side tape secure it on the back od the led stripe, it should be a few milimeters after the stripe to secure the plastic hook

Solder the power cables to the led stripe.

I used some "light in the dark" tape to go along the power cable secure with double sided tape and reinforced with regular tape to keep everything in place Homemade

Using a small piece of wood carve one of the side to be able to fit better on the selfie stick, secure it with zip ties and assemble the "roll" of leds using a screw, assemble everything and make a base for the selfie sticks (i used two pieces of wood with a hole in the middle with some iron frame under the wood to give stabilite. )

Well it works but the fun was the building process ;)
