Since we're not doing anything real technical, any soldering iron should do. What we need for this set up is a 3 Prong AC power cable that you don't need for something else. I used the standard AC power cable that is commonly used with computers and monitors. We will be cutting the end of the cable off and soldering it to our power adapter, so make sure you won't need this cable for anything else.
Prepping the power cable - In order to use this power cable we need access to the wires. Simply cut off the end of the cable, leaving as much usable cable as possible on the end that plugs into the wall. Expose wires - Using the wire stripper, cut through the outer molding of the wire. You will want to give yourself enough length of wire that it is easy to work with, but not too much as you'll need to be able to cover it back up.

Remove casing - Pull on the outer casing of the cable and slide it off the wires inside. As you do this, be careful not to pull too hard as you could put a short in the cable. Separate wires - The wires will generally be twisted around each other. Simply, untwist the wires and separate them so that you have easy access to them. Identify wires - It's possible that the color coding on the wire you're cutting apart won't match the color coding on the power supply.
It is very important that you know which wire goes to each part of the plug. For this particular cable the white wire is neutral, the balck is live or hot , and green is ground. This is a very common way of color coding the wires, but is not always followed.

Strip individual wires - Use the wire stripper to cut a half inch or so of the casing off each wire. Prep Shrink Tubing - You'll need to use the shrink tubing to act as insulator in between each wire and to cover the entire set of wires. I used half of a small tube on both the live and neutral lines.
Then I used a medium one on the cable coming from the power adapter and a large one on the full AC cable. Place Large Tubing - Slide the large tubing over all the wires and a bit down the cable to get it out of the way. Place Small Tubing - Slide the shorter small pieces of tubing over the live and neutral wires.
Place Medium Tubing - Just like with the other pieces, slide the medium tubing over the wires and down the cable until it is out of the way. Soldering - Solder each of the 3 pairs of wires together. Make sure that the solder job is as clean as possible to prevent any extra resistance in the wire.
This will help ensure the safety of using that cable. Shrink Small Tubing - Slide the small tubing pieces over the solder joints. Use the lighter to shrink the tubing to the smallest it will go. Make sure that the wires that are covered do not have any exposed wire that could result in a short. Shrink Medium Tubing - Slide the medium piece of tubing until it covers the exposed wires coming from the power supply cable. This should cover at the very least from the outer casing of that cable to the small shrink tubing we placed before. This medium tubing will be the first layer of insulation around the ground wire, since we did not put a separate piece of small tubing over that.
Again, use the lighter to shrink the tubing as much as possible. Shrink Large Tubing - Slide the large piece of tubing so that it covers both the casing on our AC cable and the medium tubing we just placed.
This should finish a full cover across all of the wires we've been working with. As before, make sure none of the wires are exposed and use the lighter to shrink the tubing. We will need to use our switch and a cable designed to plug into the LED strips. We will want to use a low-voltage SPST switch for this system. This is your basic on-off single switch. Then we'll strip the casing off so that it is ready to be soldered. Prep Tubing - We're going to want to use another piece of small tubing to protect our circuit from shorting out.
Cut a piece of the small tubing and slide it over the wire that will be soldered to the ground connection on the power adapter. Solder Ground Wire - We will wire the switch to the positive DC wire, so we need the ground to be soldered together. Solder the ground wires from the power adapter and the LED light strip plug. Make certain that the wire you solder on the LED light strip side is the side of the connection that will correctly connect to the negative connection on the LED strip.
One Last Bit of Shrink Tubing - Slide the shrink tubing over the solder joint and once again use the lighter to shrink it into place. Solder Switch - Take the positive wire from the power supply and the positive wire that will go to our LED strips and solder them to the contacts on the back of the switch.
