I started building this in december as a tree topper but I ran out of time. So I thought I'd do something with the supplies and the bats I had cut out. There not ready to plug in yet but I figured I'd post where I'm at.

| Oh, I cut those out with my dremel. Here's what I've done this week. I don't happen to have any black cords long enough so I'll have to get those before I can plug them in. 
Magnets to hold the fronts on, and locator washers to go around the magnets. 
The Bronze is more metallic than the cap indicated but I like it. Its also more sparkley in the photos because of the flash.

| I was thinking about 89" symbols last night as a matter of fact. DO IT! These were pretty quick and cheap to build. So you want to see them lit up?

On the wall.  I used white cords instead of black because my walls are white. When I find the house I want to stay in I'll wire them in so there wont be any cords.
