LoTR christmas tree topper Tower of Sauron

my son wanted to build something for close family members to give as gifts for Christmas cause he doesn't have a job yet so him and I settled on making this
He helped me design it, we took a few liberties with the design cause it's cut out of cardboard so there is only so much you can do. I laser cut the cardboard at work then put it all together with hot glue and the eye is a decal I did at work and glued onto more cardboard
It's got a spot for an LED candle in the top for it to cast light onto the eye as well
Let me know what you think

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That’s nice work! You should make kits of this and sell them....on the low low of course. Don’t want any lawsuits.
