Step 6Installation of the heart - Results
In total, i 'just' glued it to the lid of the box.
Some experiences i made were:
- flat surface with little contact (heart is pointy on bottom) doesnt hold
- drilling a little into the lid helps
- sanding the bottom of the heart to fit into the hole helps alot
-using a lot of glue is the only truth.
After you installed your heart, let everything dry out totally (or tell your girlfriend/friend to let the present dry out totally).
Additionally you could use hotglue to make the seems and borders feel smooth. Will probably increase stability. Just an idea.
Thats what my present looks like, please dont tell my girlfriend yet tho ;)
Hope you enjoyed this instructable and hope your partner will respect the effort (and in my case not the result).
Please feel free to comment and/or give feedback via email.
EDIT: first response is from this guy who used a dremel instead of my bizarre techniques. the result obviously is a big improvement. Nice! (and thanks for the response)
EDIT2: looks like this guy here took some inspiration from this project and did an awesome job on an acrylic heart. Unfortunately i dont know more about its developement, but it looks professional.
