Draw Your Message LIGHTBOX
Let's build a light box where you can draw and erase!
Materials & Tools
All materials are easily found at your local store.
You will need:
- Frame - I used an IKEA frame but you can use any other frame as long as it has enough depth to accommodate the lighting.
- LED Fairy Lights
- Batteries
- Foil Tape - You can also use aluminum foil.
- Wax Paper
- Whiteboard Marker - You can use any marker as long as it is to be used with white board. I found the marker that you can see on the image in my local store that is magnetic and has an eraser on the cap.
- Washer
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Reflect
Cut the foil tape into pieces and cover the entire back of the frame making it as reflective as possible.
Wax Paper
The wax paper is important for diffusing light evenly.
Use the mat to mark the wax paper in the right measure and cut with the scissors.
Let There Be Light!
In this step we will glue the LED fairy lights onto the surface of the panel that we made reflective using the hot glue gun.
I used blue LEDs but you can use any color of your choice.
Close the frame and glue the battery holder to the back with hot glue.
The Washer
Maybe you're wondering how we're going to use the washer, I'll explain now:
I found the marker that you can see on the image in my local store that is magnetic and has an eraser on the cap, so I decided I would put it on the side of the frame, the washer allows the magnet to stick!
Draw You Message!
It's done!
