Nice to see you in the contest lumenzilla
About the host…how about…hot glue?
You have some coloured glue you can use (in case you have it at your disposal)!
REMEMBER - you only have to make a working light……… worst case scenario, wrap insulating tape round it. Even in it’s most basic form, it will be a light, it will be hand made and it will still likely win a prize. :+1:
Don’t give up now. Lesson learned for next year.
Welcome to the competition! Too bad about that host. Building can be frustrating. Just take a moment to breath and then start looking around. I’m sure there is something sitting around from which a host, even if a humble one, can be fashioned.
Stole the words from my mouth lol!
Don’t be ashamed Lumenzilla - why on earth would you feel like that?
Yes, things could have worked out better - but that’s the beauty of your entry - you adapted, and made good as best you could, and didn’t just bin it/give up and that is the main thing - you have a working hand made light.
Well done!
Pretty neat idea ! I know it wasn’t funny for you when the first host “ burned “ , but I got a chuckle out of it from your description and pics . Glad to see you overcame that minor setback.
