  Step 1

  For this light, you'll need a metal chocolate box. You can usually find these going cheap after Valentine's day, like I did with mine.

• 

  Step 2

  Remove the lid and start by painting the bottom of the chocolate box with chalkboard paint.

• 

  Step 3

  Allow to dry before adding a second coat.

• 

  Step 4

  Once dry, turn the chocolate box over and mark out where you'd like each of your LED lights to go.

• 

  Step 5

  Use an awl to punch a hole through the metal for each of the lights. Start small and then make the hole wider and wider with a screwdriver until the lights fit snuggly.

• 

  Step 6

  Place the lights into each of the holes and tie the wire neatly at the back of the box before popping the chocolate box's lid back into place.

• 

  Step 7

  Finally, use chalk to write a little note or quote on the front of your light.

• 

  Step 8

  Turn it on and admire your work!
