Plug the 3rd end of the splitter into the white Control Center piece, adding a 4 prong attachment if necessary. Next, take the two black ends and connect them into the white splitter making sure that the arrows on both the black piece and the white splitter are lined up together. Add one of the 4 pronged attachment pieces into the connector strip if there isnвЂ™t one. First place the bins into the Flisat table with the connection hookups on the same side. Now to connect everything to the electrical outlet. When you get to the end, press everything down firmly. Feed that end through your hole from the outside in and then gently attach the LED strip to the inside of the bin like you did with the first one. Once again, dry fit the LED strip around the inside of the Trofast bin, and cut it as close to the opposite end as the strip will allow (remember you can ONLY cut the strip at the marked spots or it wonвЂ™t work) without overlapping. Once theyвЂ™re in place, close the white tabs to complete the hook up.

You can pull the metal tabs up a little if youвЂ™re having trouble sliding the strip underneath them, just make sure to firmly press them back down when youвЂ™re finished. Open up the two white tabs, line up the wires with the correct color on LED strip (Black, Green, Red, Blue), and remove a small section of the backing. Pick the one that is white on one end and black with the 4 prong connector on the other. Congratulations, your first bin is complete!ДЇor the second bin, you are going to need to attach an LED connector strip to the end that you cut. Once the whole strip is stuck down, press it more firmly in place. Remove 2-3вЂі of backing at a time, and gently stick the LED strip to the inside of the Trofast bin, about 1вЂі from the bottom. Now carefully remove the backing of the LED strip, starting at the connection and moving towards the cut end. Pull it all the way through until you get to the first light before the connection piece. DonвЂ™t worry if the ends donвЂ™t touch, as long as theyвЂ™re within 2-3вЂі of each other, you should be fine.ДЇrom here, thread the end of the LED strip you just cut, through the hole going from the outside of the bin, in. Cut it on the marked line (which is every 3 lights, and indicated by the orange dots) that is closest to the hole on the other side, without overlapping the two pieces. Now, take the LED strip and dry fit it (so donвЂ™t remove the backing) around the inside of the Trofast bin, starting at the hole you just drilled. Clean the inside and the bin and wipe down with rubbing alcohol (soap and water will do if you donвЂ™t have rubbing alcohol) and let dry.

To start, drill a 5/8вЂі hole in one end of each Trofast bin, approximately 1вЂќ from the bottom. Clear Acrylic Sheet or Ribba Picture Frame.If you already have a Flisat Table, this hack should take you about 10-15 minutes once the supplies are gathered. My only requirement for this IKEA hack, was that it had to be easy to remove and store, so that I could rotate it in and out. Suddenly, those window blocks and magnetic tiles take on a different form of play and you donвЂ™t have to depend on the weather outside. Light tables are great for introducing a different sensory input to play, as kids are naturally draw to the glow of the lights. When we first got our IKEA Flisat table, I knew immediately that I wanted to find a way to add a light table option into the rotation.
