  • What's up, Rob here, Man Vs. Pin

  • It's real simple: You send me pins, I test them out

  • I got one in the comments a few weeks back from Dylan, about these LED Light Clouds

  • Which look pretty rad. And since Valentine's day is coming up, I figured, Clouds, Cupids, Love..Valentine's Day, I dunno.

  • Somehow it ties together

  • Materials: A bag of Polyfiber Fill, AKA, Pillow stuffing.

  • A small paper lantern, some fishing string or clear wire, a glue gun, a battery operated LED light

  • This is a simple push on, push off type.

  • First thing, I got myself a small paper lantern and assembled.

  • I got this one at IKEA for $5 and it's perfect because it has these 3 little feet on them

  • And that'll come in handy for the string in just a bit

  • This is theTER, (Laugter, lal-latter?) Model.

  • I'm not really sure how it's pronounced in Sweden, but ah..that's..that's what you're looking at.

  • Since I'm not using the electrical assets, I'm going to simply place the LED push light right on to the center

  • of this little light frame right here and just tape it on.

  • I've read a lot of comments from people freaking out about this catching on fire, but I'm pretty sure we're safe

  • with that kinda light, right? You would think?

  • But if I'm wrong and your house burns down, don't blame me.

  • Next, I busted out my clear string and tied 3 equal pieces to each of those corner legs

  • Then I grabbed my glue gun and began to glue on clumps of the polyfiber fill, one section at a time

  • Pretty simple, just glue, pat it down, Repeat

  • Add a little here, add a little there,

  • When I was done, I took those 3 strings, tied it into a knot and hung it up

  • Once I saw it in action and looked at the shape, I decided to add bit of polyfiber fill here and there to

  • make it kinda more cloud-like. You do simply by just weaving it in with your fingers,

  • Ah, kinda similar to massaging a..sheep. If you've ever had to do that for some reason

  • Turned on the LED, turned off the lights and..I got myself a pretty *BLEEPING* awesome cloud light

  • Yeah, this thing is totally gonna come in handy. Maybe I'll make a few more

  • Or maybe I'll lock it away in my closet, to hoard it with all the other random craft projects I don't have room for

  • but continue to build each week..

  • If you've got a pin that you want me to build, test, or destroy, tell me about it in the comments below

  • Apparently Witch Angel is keeping track, Pin: 3 and Rob: 2.

  • Win next time so it can be a tie!

  • I believe I did, Witch Angel. I believe I did.

  • Keep those pins suggestions coming and check back next week for more Man Vs. Pin

  • We'll see you then

What's up, Rob here, Man Vs. Pin
