  • Attach the LEDs to the battery. Remember, I have left the minus pole blank. Therefore, insert the longer wires (+) of the LEDs between the plus pole of the battery and the electrical tape

  • The shorter wires of the LEDs should be straight above the minus pole of the battery without touching it
