Glass Fiber Custom Build Picture Frame; SNOOPY

Build a shining picture frame with custom pattern or lettering.

what you need:
- Picture frame (my choice: 20x15)
- glass fiber
- cardboard
- scissors
- Superglue
- needle
- Coloured LEDs, Color Changing LED, resistors
- Mosfet (N channel)
- adjustable resistor
- Transformer (My choice: 5V)
- soldering iron
- Hot glue gun

Draw dotted image of your choice.

- glue black cardboard on thick cardboard
- glue the picture on the other side
- pierce with a needle all points (as in the picture)

- adjust the fiber optic cable in alignment with the paper.
- glue each fiber optic cables with superglue on the back of the paper (best with the tip of a needle).

If a point should be brighter or thicker, then just push through one point two or three fiber optic cables.

Now bring the strands of each patterns (images) together.

- melt the ends with a soldering iron together . The best way, that two LEDs fit inside.

The best way to make, hot the ends of the strand then quickly press the LEDs inside.

Then wrap the LEDs with alufoil.

It turns on automatically, at darkness or low light. On the variable resistance (side mounted) you can set the switching time.

Have a nice day :)
