Check out these 2 awesome ways to make your own custom LED Halloween lights…

 

DIY Halloween Light Project #1

Be warned, instead of “Project #1” we could just go ahead and call this one “the hard one”.

Truthfully, it’s not that hard — you just need a basic knowledge of soldering. If that scares you, skip on down to the Project #2.

For this project you’ll make your own fully custom LED lights using these materials:

Be careful that the AA batteries do not exceed 2.5 amps — which could cause the LEDs to burn out. Test the batteries with the multimeter beforehand. Test the string after each LED is soldered with a coin cell.

 

DIY Halloween Light Project #2

This project idea is MUCH easier, but still employs the use of ping pong balls. This is an idea that we’ve talked about before when suggesting it as a way to create some fun and cheap party lights.

To modify this project for Halloween, simply replace the regular old LED multi-color lights with Halloween colored LED lights and boom, you’re done.
