Also pictured are the components you'll need in order to make an effective, light-proof container that
can be pointed to, or rotated to any position. This is so visitors can have an optimum view of your "eyes
in the bushes". Along with the plastic film canisters, you'll need aluminum foil, (thin) red tissue paper (which you can find at any paper supply store or at any greeting card store that stocks gift-wrapping supplies), scotch tape, black electrician's tape and, of course, the lights. The tools required are a drill (and appropriate sized bits), a utility (razor) knife, scissors and possibly tweezers (for hard to reach areas). One final point. I chose to have a canister on every sixth light or so. I chose to do this so I had some distance, and slack, between each visible set of eyes. This also means, of course, I had to blank out the remaining non-participating bulbs. The easiest way I found to do this was to wrap each non-participating bulb with black, electrician's tape until no light was visible. However, as a safety precaution, test whatever type of light string you choose to use, testing that the light does not overheat, melt, or otherwise damage, the electrician's tape. Again, this is why I chose this brand of light string. The slightly larger type of bulb may, in fact, generate too much heat for you to simply have tape wrapped around them. The fix would require using a film canister on those lights, with NO holes drilled for eyes, on each non-participating bulb. |
