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

Step 1: For the Base

I melted the Instamorph and coloured it blue.

I used "no-brand" pigment.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: For the Base

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

Step 4: For the Base

More Instamorph was added on top to hold acrylic glass.

Step 5: 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.

Step 6: For the Base

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

Step 7: The LED Sign

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

Step 8: The LED Sign

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.
