If you need a modern design solution in the stylistic design of a room, but ordinary wall paintings, panels and other ordinary elements for decoration are no longer interesting? Or do you want to make an original gift to your loved one and at the same time invest in him a piece of your soul? I think you will need the ability to make a do-it-yourself accessory for the interior, which we will do in today's homemade, and to be more precise: LED three-dimensional panel.
Of course, such panels are on sale, but they will cost you a tidy amount, although this is far from the main factor: in this homemade panel you will see a panel in the form of a heart, and you can use any imagination to display absolutely any picture. Despite its visual effect, the accessory is not quite complicated to manufacture and does not require large material investments.
To implement this "masterpiece", we will need the following materials and tools:
- furniture stapler and staples;
- hot glue gun;
- sticks of hot glue;
- LED strip;
- LEDs;
- resistors;
- picture frame (deep);
- a mirror;
- heart (papier-mâché);
- foil;
- film (mirror);
- Styrofoam;
- adhesive tape (double-sided);
- window cleaning agent;
- rags;
- wires.
First, we will disassemble the frame we have and take out the base from cardboard with a paper sheet.
This shows a purchased picture frame (standard 50 * 50), the frame can also be made by hand (of any size), I think with a little skill it will not be difficult.
Glass is installed in the frame, it must be thoroughly wiped using a detergent, and then glued to a mirror film (on the inside). Pasting should be done on a damp surface, trying not to leave air bubbles.
Using a hot glue gun, along the contour of the heart (as shown in the photo), we fix the LEDs. Next: using wires and resistors, we solder them into a common circuit.
Two small parts of the foam need to be glued so that they extend beyond the edge of the heart, in which case the heart fixed in the inside of the panel will have a soaring effect. After fixing the foam on top, double adhesive tape must be glued on it, for a convenient location of the heart in the panel and to avoid unnecessary smears of hot melt adhesive on the mirror coating.
Using foil, we will wrap the heart, but the installed LEDs should look out and place it in the center of the mirror.
On the perimeter of the picture frame (inside), using a furniture stapler, we attach an LED strip. We work carefully with the stapler, in no case should the tape be damaged. Solder the wires for power.
And so, we bring out the wires for power, we install in the frame a mirror with the composition located on it and a cardboard "native" backdrop.
We connect the power source with the necessary voltage and the "masterpiece" is ready.
This accessory will be a beautiful addition to your interior, as well as serve as additional illumination, and undoubtedly such a panel as a gift will appeal to your loved one.
