Test your light for size- Test your chosen LED or clear bead on top of the bead you have chosen for your light house tower. Decide how tall you want your tower and cut the bead to fit (or make one from polymer clay, hollow tubing, or carve a piece of balsa to the correct size.) Enlarge the hole in the bead to carry the wires from the LED if necessary.
Make the House for the Light Tower-Cut a small square of balsa to use as a house against your light house tower. Look at some photos of lighthouses to decide how tall a tower you want compared to your house. Cut a triangular piece of balsa slightly wider than the house base to use as your roof.
Fit the House to the Tower - Use a craft knife or round file, to carve the house and roof pieces so that they fit snugly against the base of the tower.
