A Geek can be romantic

I am not a great romantic guy but you know, sometimes, you need to prove your "LOVE" to your girlfriend. :)

So I created this original gift for her.

It is a heart in wood with el wire and leds. which lights with a magnetic interruptor.

Let's see the different steps to explain this romantic gift!

To do it, you will need:

- 1 pink el wire
-3 x 1 cents € (to create a magnet circuit)
-red paint
-12 white leds

Step 1: Draw the heart on the wood plate

I draw a heart in a wood plate of 3mm thickness. It is pretty easy to find in a diy shop and not so expensive.

I draw the message "je t'aime" and pre-marked holes to drill them to put the el wire.

Then I drilled the wood plate and tested first the cable lengh!
By this way I preformed the el wire!

To cut the wood plate I used a hacksaw but it is much easier to use a jigsaw (unfortunately I don't have one).

You know sometimes I have to be kind of romantic.
It is easier to build something than say something.
It is one of the geek disease ;)
