A luminous stone or magic cube can be an excellent decorative element in a bedroom. Such a ball can, of course, be found in the store, but a truly original thing can be done exclusively with your own hands, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our material, which is devoted to the manufacture of such a cube.
We offer the first thing to watch a video homemadethen repeat the whole process with your own hand.
So we need:
- plastic case or bottle;
- scissors;
- marker;
- nipple with LED backlight;
- glue gun;
- a metal can.
First of all, we need to cut from our plastic bottle or from a plastic case, as in the case of the author of the homemade product, pieces of 15 centimeters in length and 5 in width.
Next, with a marker, divide the resulting strip into three even parts. Thus, we should get two strips, divided into three parts.
After that, we take our nipple from a car or bicycle with a built-in LED backlight. If anyone does not know, then such nipples can be purchased not only in ordinary stores, but also ordered online. They cost about 50 rubles, and work according to the following principle. When stationary, the LED installed in the nipple does not light. If you shake it or hit something, the light comes on and starts to change colors.
We must install this nipple in our cube. To further change the batteries, make it removable. To do this, cut off the bottom of the nipple, because we do not need it.
Next, make a hole on a piece of plastic bottle. The diameter of the hole must be larger than the diameter of the nipple. Why exactly, we will find out in the next step.
So, the hole should be of a larger diameter, because for a better glow we wrap our nipple with a plastic bag, preferably resistant to high temperatures, if we turn on the magic cube often and for a long time.
We fix the package to the base of the future cube with a glue gun.
Assemble the cube again with a glue gun.
For a better and deeper effect, we also need to fill our box with glue gun glue.At the end, you can glue the cube with pieces of a metal can, or you can leave it as it is. There is already a matter of taste and personal preferences.
