Light box "Ahoy"
The Lamp foil is equipped with stamping ink, a brush and Stencil decorated with Sea shell- or beach motif The best way is to spray Stencil in advance with temporary spray glueso it can't slip. Then place the Stencil on your foil and use a brush to dab the design on.
You can print out our lettering "Ahoy" or you can choose a lettering according to your wishes. Put your message under the foil and paint it with a Marker after. In our example, we have added furtheraccents to the font as nights with a white Marker .
In the next step you can open the slide with Handicraft glue onto the frame. The adhesive seam and thus the edge of the self-made light box is then glued with decrosive Driftwood ornamented
Driftwood and also the chain of lights on the back of the light box we have fixed to the frame at some points with hot glue.
Light box "compass rose
The Lamp foil of the light box "wind rose" is not painted with the usual Hobby Colour but with stamp ink. Use a Ink Pads in the colour "Petrol" and dab the entire cut Lamp foil with a sponge-stabbing brush.
The compass rose of this light box is painted on with a stencil. After the stamping ink has dried, spray the stencil with temporary spray glue to prevent it from slipping. The Stencil is placed centrally on the foil and dabbed with stamping ink . We have designed our compass rose in Stone Grey . As soon as the ink has dried, the Craft foil with Handicraft glue can be glued to the frame.
For the light box edge now a Cotton cord triple and knot a sailor's knot into it, e.g. a square knot. Glue the Cord with hot glue to the edge of the cardboard frame and decorate it according to your personal taste also with shells, Driftwood and scattering.
Finally, fix a micro LED light chain inside the frame with the hot glue gun.
Your atmospheric lighting is ready! Enjoy your new light source and the admiration of your guests.
