Light That Picture !

Light That Picture !
Hello,

This is a pretty simple project where we take a little photo and turn it in a very nice decorative object for any boy,man,father,plummer to admire :)

The Cost of this project is very low :
-Here's what we need-

1. Full page a4 or bigger color print : $1.00 aprox.
2. Four or more LED's in my case from 4 lighters : $3.00 aprox.
3. Eight or more 20cm thin wires : $1.00 aprox.
4. Electrical Tape : $0.50 aprox.
5. A4 photo frame : $2.50 aprox.
6. Small On/Off electrical swich : $0.50 aprox.
7. 9v Battery : $1.50 aprox.

Total Cost : $10 - Give or take a few bucks
Most of you who are on this website probably have half if not all the parts in ur house allready !

To make this project it took me around 30-40 min.

Now if you decided to face the fears and build your own awesome "whatever this is" i made this complete instructable for you but i really recommend before you start making it view the video instructable to get an idea of how this looks and how cool it is !

Here's what we start with,

1. We will need a car photo ! (pic.1)

If you have a favorite car photo you may want to use that one, but i say take your time and search the internet for a really good looking car picture , keeping in mind that you will display it publicly ex :home,office ! So make sure it's the right picture ! Take the one i chose as an example.

2. Printing The Picture (pic.2)

Now if you found the picture you want to use and have a color printer print it using your best quality options, if you don't have a printer then you may print it at a local photo shop for about $1 !

3. "If you have access to a a3 printer then that would be cooler because it's bigger but i only had a4 available"

4. In the end, you need a full page photo print with one or more cars ! (pic.3)

A good idea is to to the same on a clock. it work great and give good result!
make 20-30 and sale em on a garage sale! you can easyly ask for 5-10$ each when it cost you a dollars to make one! (100 9v battery on ebay = 50$, 100 led = 10$) so less than 0.60$/each!

Very creative project - well done and very good directions. One suggestion - a piece of white matte board for a border would make it look even better.
