So this is my first instructable. And I made the LED Rechargeable Book Light for Reading in Bed

And everything except the PVC electric tape was taken from junk and I made this instructable on the last moment

Supplies

A small LED light from any broken toy preferably (standard 5mm water-clear or IR emitting LED diode)

A CR2026 from a old broken watch

A calendar hanger wire for the bendable neck

And last but not the least a PVC electrical tape

Shaping the Wire

First take the calendar hanger wire from an old calendar and make this weird shape on one side

Making the Book Clip

Then fold it according to the photo and make the clip

Making Sure It Clips on to the Book

Now on this step of the process make it so that it can be put on the book of your choice

Checking the Battery

See if the cr 2026 battery has charge or not if it has the ability to turn the small standard 5mm water-clear or IR emitting LED diode ( in My case the battery was Old and probably used so bit is a bit dark)

Putting the Battery and LED Diode On

Then put the LED diode on to the battery and wrap it up with the PVC electric tape to calendar hanger wire and make sure it the light is directed to the page's of the book
