    Instructions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    When assembling this lamp, there are two options: with jump rings or with hot glue, which will be detailed further ahead.<\/p>

    You can place the CDs with the shiny side out if you want a more reflective look, or use the CDs own design outside, or remove that design alltoghether, to have both sides be shiny.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    1. To start, mark five dots in the ouotside circumference of each CD, all with equal spacing, like the spikes of a pentagon.<\/p>\n

    2. Using your tool of choice, make holes where you marked on the CDs.<\/p>\n

    3. To stard building the shape pick a CD that will be your bottom piece, and join five more CDs to it along the borders, passing a jump ring through the holes in both disks.<\/p>\n

    4. Repeat this process with the rest of the CDs until you only have the top CD left.<\/p>\n

    5. Pass your light cable through the hole of the top CD.<\/p>\n

    6. Finish joining the last CD with the jump rings, and you’re done!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
