Step 1: Laser Cut and Engrave a top for the light box.
Pick and Image of a circuit or anything you like and transfer it to Illustrator to set up file for laser engraving and cut to desired size with a bounding box. This is what we choose to engrave into a piece of clear acrylic. What ever material you choose make sure that the light can go through.
Step 2: Laser Cut
Step 3: Make box
We also laser cut our box but you can use anything, from a shoe box to a handmade wooden box frame.
Step 4: Glue Collage Items to Laser Cut Acrylic. We chose, computer parts, and 3D printing rafts.
Step 5: Decided how to set up your circuit.
We chose to use two batteries and five LEDs. Drawing it out in pencil first helped us lay out the LEDs properly. The adhesive conductive fabric worked great!
Step 6: Fold and secure positive and negative to battery with binder clips. And place box on top or place paper circuit in to your box.
Step 7: Put your Collage on top and enjoy the magic!
