LED Acrylic Glass Sign


In this Instructable, I made a LED acrylic sign.
You will need:
For the Sign:
- Acrylic glass
I used a 100 X 80 X 5 mm sheet
- Mini drill with diamond burr bits.
- Stencil knife
- Picture/print out for the stencil
For the base:
Instamorph moldable plastic
2 LED's with a battery holder, batteries and a switch
For the Base


I melted the Instamorph and coloured it blue.
I used "no-brand" pigment.
For the Base


I used a wooden box as a mould.
Instamorph should not be too hot or else it will stick to the box.
When I removed it from the mould, I reheated the bottom to cut it off.
For the Base

To make sure batteries hold in place, I added more Instamorph.
For the Base

More Instamorph was added on top to hold acrylic glass.
For the Base




I drilled holes for LED's and the switch.
I soldered LED's and a switch to the battery holder.
Then I glued the switch to the case and inserted LED's.
For the Base


I covered bottom of LED's with electrical tape and inserted the batteries.
The LED Sign


I cut out the stencil and secured it to acrylic with the scotch tape.

Then I used diamond burr bits to colour the stencil.
Now you can put your art on top of the base and watch it shine.
If you get bored, change it.
