6. Conceal the Battery Pack or Plug:

  • Hide the battery pack or plug by attaching it discreetly to the bottom of the glass container. You can use wire or cord clips to keep it in place.

7. Test Your Lamp:

  • Before completing your creation, test the battery operated fairy lights to ensure they are working properly.
