Sticking and connecting

Its time to stick everything down. Use the sketch on "the actual thing" to position everything, using rulers and protractors to make sure the angles and spaces are correct.

The LED strips tend to have double sided tape on them so just use that.
When sticking the LED ring, use the spongy heavy duty tape (layer it if you have to) to get this LED ring lifted above the others. Again make sure it is positioned right in the middle.

After that, stick all the circuit boards down. Stick them using the heavy duty tape so they hold strongly but are also cushioned and protected. Make sure, the cables that are supposed to be lead behind, are.
You may have to cut the wire in half, put it through the hole and then solder it together again, but remember, but a shrinking tube on it to avoid short circuiting anything.

Then connect the wires to the board. DO NOT STAPLE THEM!! This cracks the acrylic glass and breaks the wires. Inside the box, you can use a hot glue gun, or use this method.

Drill a hole through the board. Put a loop of wire around the cable, and put the loop through the hole. On the other side, put a piece of plastic or wood between the two ends of the cables and twirl it before finally hot glue gunning it. You can also just split the ends to both sides and staple them.
I would recommend this method when connecting the wires at the top or bottom on the acrylic glass where it can be seen.

connect all the wires nicely.

After this, take some more of the sticky plastic, and stick this over the wires in the box itself, so no shapes or dark reflections will be seen later.
