Can you see the + shape inside the pencil mark? this is what we want to help us make a clean hole for our Miniature Christmas Lights.

Start with a small object, like a Fine Paintbrush. Poke it into the + shape. Now press down AND TURN back and forth at the same time.

If you PRESS DOWN TOO FAST you rish making a HUGE RIP and even worse, breaking the Wall Unit Front Top section.

Now you can take a pencil and make a WIDER hole. Remember to TURN the pencil back and forth as you press it into the hole.

Now we should have 2 holes and 5 Slits. The holes are for lights, but why the Slits you ask? Ahh...the accuracy is in the details :)

Now cut out 5 identical pieces from the same Cardboard your Chair backs were made from. You don't want too thick a vent panel.

Measure out 1.5cm X 2cm.

Now paint these a light grey color. If you can find a Grey cardboard at the store even better. I am painting these for the prototype to show you what they are for, but when I create the 100 pieces, i will go to the store to get my grey Cardboard and save a step. If you enjoy painting...be my guest :D

Now take one of the rectangles and gently insert it into the first slit. If you start at an agle, it goes in easier.

Press it SLOWLY inside until it hits the edge of the Wall Unit's Top Panel Section.

Here is the view from the FRONT. The GREEN arrow points to the vent piece that is inserted and the BLUE arrows point to the slits where the other 4 vents will poke through when inserted into place.

Repeat the same steps until all 5 Vent rectangles are in place. This should take about 2 hours. LOL , Ok, I'm joking with you :) Maybe about 3 minutes :D
