A skeleton I wired some red LED lights in to the eye sockets. After sawing off the back of the skull I punched the holes for the lights, I used hot glue to hold them in place.

After wiring up the lights to 4 double A batteries, I made sure that power was running as it should.

I added crimp connectors then ran wires down the operator stick for the puppet and wired it up to a switch attached to the pole.
