My 4 year old daughter wants to be Audrey from Descendants 3 this year for Halloween. All of the Maleficent staff's I found were to tall, and expensive for my taste, especially seeing as how they had no lights or anything. So i told her I would make her one that is her height and would light up and get brighter when she would hit it on the ground, such as when Audrey did spells in the movie.
I designed this to fit inside of 1/2" CPVC pipe and use 3 AAA batteries. I used some solid copper wire I had laying around to make the mating rings. (HVAC thermostat wire I'm pretty sure) putting some "bumps" in the ring on the switch side to make it a springy fit. Used the solid core wire in all of the pipe side hardware, but in the switch side hardware I used some 24 AWG wire (out of an old ethernet cable) to attach from the matting ring down to the switch so I could have some more flexibility in working the switch and wire down into place. This thing is a bit of a puzzle to put togethe
