Building Documentation

 I started out by making the cranks I wanted the LED fiber optic grass bundles to ride on.
I needed something to attach the bundles to so that they could always remain upright on the rotating crankshaft. I used this plastic tubing I bought for the flower stems.
 I attached the leds in sets of three to a piece of tubing that  I slit down the side so that it would sit on top of the tubing attached to the cranks:

I then soldered wires on to the bundles:

 

 I hot glued my fiber optics bundles to the top of them:



I used tin foil wrapped around the base to direct the light up the fiber optics, instead of being diffused at the base:
