supplies consist of window blind rods (clear obviously), reflection tape, clear nail polish(dollar store), dremel, drill and bit, electrical tape, heat shrink, wires resister and switch. Preheat oven to 350 and while its preheating cut all your rods in half and remove the tip. Then take measurments of how big your light is and find a round object that size. (I used the lid of the sugar container and a spaghetti jar) then throw one of the rods on a piece of foil in the oven for 4 minutes. Take it out after the four minutes is up and wrap it around your sugar lid. Hold for about 15 seconds until it hardens. Repeat for the rest of your rods. then figure out how you want your halos to look, as in how big the gap is and cut with your dremel what you would like. Then use the dremel to cut little slits all along the front of your halo. Take your drill and drill
into the ends. This is going to be one of the harder steps since your dealing with something so small and a slip of the hand can ruin the hole.( to be extra carefull I drilled a hole I knew was too small, threw the rods in the oven for about two minutes and shoved the led in the hole) Fit your led, and make adjustments. Then take clear nail polish and dab it in your fresh drilled holes. This will keep it strong and allow more light through. Kind of acting like a magnifying glass. put the reftective tape on the back, then its basic wiring and taping from there.
So maybe it wasn't that brief.. lol
