When starting a project what determines whether the lights go on back or throughout? Is it the "denseness" of the scene? For example, this image is pretty much open throughout whereas some are filled in the center. Do you have any completed examples of lights on back page only? Also, how wide are the mat board strips and the double-sided tape?

I always put lights on every layer, I do not put them on the back only. My strips are 8mm wide

How wide do you cut the strips? I know the height is based on the shadowbox, but what about the width?

How do you make the side strips would it just be like craft board, is there a certain size or a template. Thank you for such a great video, it will help so much, I will definitely be checking out your etsy shop for templates.

I understand the spacers holding the partial sides of a cutout layer, but what if the layer has only a bottom and no sides or top? Should I run a spacer on all 3 sides?

No, still just the sides, because the spacers are all full height they sandwich the layer
