To make pictures we need to decide on a drawing. I chose a Christmas tree - simple and tasteful!
I took the plexiglass and cut it off. The size is arbitrary. You can also take plexiglass from a CD case.
Next, using a felt-tip pen, I drew an outline beyond which the drawing will not protrude. The color of the marker does not matter.
My next action was to apply the picture to the glass. I took a sharp scalpel. Plexiglas is easily scratched, but you should not be overzealous, as it may burst.
The deeper the grooves, the brighter the pattern.
The drawing is ready. We erase the felt-tip pen. Here's what happened:
I'm doing the lighting. Necessary: Light-emitting diode and a 3 volt battery. If you are planning a large stationary painting with a large number of LEDs
then you can power them from the block.
The next step is to cover the edges of the glass with black electrical tape so that the light does not pass where it is not needed. And we glue it on both sides.
We make a picture frame with our own hands. I came across some wonderful white cardboard. I folded it like a postcard and cut out a window under the glass with a margin so that the electrical tape would not be visible.
Next is the assembly of two parts, gluing one to the other.
Then I began to be tormented by doubts - which background to choose? On white it is difficult to see in the light, but it is better visible in the dark. . .
I settled on black. . .
That seems to be it, but I didn’t stop there. I decided to attach red garlands and a star to the tree. To do this, I put another layer of plexiglass with garlands, but they
now it's starting to light up red Light-emitting diode.
It turned out great!
I liked it and started creating my own collection:
Here the background is bluish - I painted the glass on the back side with blue paint, after applying the drawing, of course:
And for a snack - a snowflake:
It is done by perforating a hole with a needle:
Thank you! Good luck !
