Plexiglass LED table

Awhile ago I decided I wanted a small table for my room, and I thought it would be fun to make it myself. I also got the idea of making it out plexiglass, so it would glow if I put LEDs in it. I went to Home Depot and found a piece of plexi that was the right size, then a long piece of wood and some metal clip thingies. I had already bought some blue LED’s online and had some wire laying around. I cut the piece of wood into four equal sized ones for the legs. Then I spray painted them black. Next i drilled holes into the plexi and attached the legs with screws and the metal things. The table was still shaky, so i got some smaller wood pieces and attached to the legs for support. Then i drilled holes into the side of the plexi and stuck the LED’s inside. I finally managed to figure out a way to wire them together so their wouldn’t be wires everywhere. I connected them with a switch i had attached to the side and to wires leading to a 3V wall adapter. Then i used electrical tape to cover up the wires a little bit. It was a fun project, and not too difficult. Here are a few pics:
