USB Batman Spotlight

Step 12 Make the spotlight lens

Place a sheet of clear plastic (OHP slide or old bit of packaging) over the top of the spotlight and mark a circle (water based ink) just inside the inner wall of the lamp. Add three tags to the circle and then cut it out. Then wash off the marker pen, and then dry. When dry, stick a small square of double sided masking tape to each tag, but leave the backing on for now.

Measure the inner circumference of the lamp and make a foil strip that will fit neatly inside the lamp without sticking up proud from the top.

On a similar piece of foil mark up and then cut out the Batman logo. The logo must fit the area of the lens. Put a strip of double sided sticky tape on the back of the foil before you cut it out.
Get images to copy from off the web, or go to thedadcando batman project where there is a downloadable template of the bat logo (and the mounting yoke, you will need in a minute).

Cut out the bat logo and using double sided tape stick it to the lens in the center. Fold the tags down.

Insert the foil strip into the lamp and then insert the lens tags and push the lens down so it is level with the top. The best way to down this is to peel off only one of the tags double sided, poke this tag in and stick it firmly and then push the other tags in and pull off the double sided backing with tweezers or the corner of your craft knife once the tags are in place.

Make sure that the tags go down in between the foil and the lamp wall, so they are hidden when it is assembled.

Thing is, I spent about 3 years building up dadcando and designing things on their and the cost of running it was too much, so I decided to charge a small fee to join or 95p to download a single project. The revenue from this hasn't aded up to the cost of creating the site just yet, but the weekly money that comes in covers running the site and keeping it up there. ^_^ There's loads more on dadcando than just this template!

Joining has no cost. You just need to have an email, and its very easy!

Sorry it used to be free about 2 years ago, now there is a £10 joining charge and that lasts forever or a £0.95 per project download cost.

Actually it does.. I was going to register at that dadcando site thingy, to get the template. After the registration they asked for me to choose which payment method, similar to this sites' one. Now, I have to ask my sister to draw it.. Would be simplier to just print it for free..
