I'd love to see exactly how you did it, materials used etc.

(ya know, so I can run out and do it immediately) :)

Well, Granite, if you're referring specifically to the plastic pineapple light, I can tell ya how I did that quite easily. I simply put one of those stick-up, battery-operated, one-click LED push-lights inside the pineapple and left it turned on. Then I positioned a fuschia straw in such a way that it acts as a conduit for the light (much the way fibre-optics work), and that;s really all there is to it. The tricky part is positioning the straw so it lights up.

Hope that answers your question.

Cheers! :drink:
