Make Xs on the eyes using electrical tape. Hot glue with black glue sticks the eyes. In the center of these eye traces you will want to make holes just smaller than the LED you acquired. Cut/push in the outlines to better recess the domes. Now take the domes you cut out and trace where you want the eyes. We applied 2 coats to get a good black color applied. Paint the sphere and ears using acrylic paint. Use black hot glue to fix the ears to the sphere. Trace where the ears will be mounted on the sphere then cut/push a recess. There will be lip around the outside edge of the dome that will need to be cut off and we used a hot knife for this. If you get lucky you might be able to use the leds. Now for the eyes. Take the 2 Dollar Store Touch Lights apart. You are wanting the dome that acts as a light diffuser. Note that you will have to cut a curve into the base of the ears to get it to lay flush. Use the paper DeadMau5 Ear template to mark and cut the foam for the ears. Mark lines lightly with a pencil then cut using the hot knife in a well ventilated area. Use the paper DeadMau5 Mouth template, cut slits into the paper to get the templates to lay evenly and flat onto the surface of the sphere and tape it. Don’t do like me and try and use E6000 cause it melts styrofoam, use hot glue just don’t let it get real hot. Put the half spheres together and mark evenly spaced marks around on both spheres to recess 2 sets of magnets total into each side.
