Tips for success
- Allow glue on front assembly to cure before attaching rear assembly
- Install LED light strip before attaching front assembly

- Insert zip ties so the locking mechanism is closest to finished front so you don’t see them in the finished light

Back Story
This light was inspired by a trip to the zoo. We needed decor for my daughter’s new big girl bedroom, so I designed this light. Building the light was an activity for us to do together.
