By Kerry Ross


Various decorations can be used for your home to add appeal and to give different functions. To create a nice lighting effect in various rooms, you can utilize LED light boxes. This is an equipment that can create different vibes in each room and it is also a good do-it-yourself activity for you if you know what you are doing.

Different shops already sell ready-to-use boxes of this kind. However, one might find it pleasurable and entertaining to make her own box. She can do this if she follows the right steps and she can also decorate it according to the effect that she wants to have in the room. She can vary its shape and size depending on the room where it will be placed.

To make sure that it will be done properly, then he needs to research about it. He needs to know the right process so he can accomplish this effectively. He can use DIY tips that are written in magazine articles or he can use the internet to search for this very important information regarding the matter at hand.

Her research can lead her to the materials that she should buy to make this box. She should ensure that the acrylic sheets, cables, LED lights, and other tools needed for this are of the best quality to produce the best results. She can look for them in various home improvement shops or in hardware stores in the area.

After getting all these, you must create a work station in your home. You must ensure that this space allows you for easy storage of the materials and enough area to finish the work that must be done. You must also be certain that children cannot access the area because they might get hurt if they play with these things.

The first step that he needs to do is to draw the plates for the box. This can be done with a felt tip marker on an acrylic sheet. He needs to draw four rectangular pieces and two small square ones with corresponding dimensions so they can be connected together to form the box. These plates have to be cut properly with a jigsaw and its sharp edges need to be smoothed with a sandpaper.

After doing this, you must glue the rectangles together leaving one side open. On the bottom of one of them, near the edge, you must drill a hole with a diameter of 1/4 inch. You can do this using the right chuck in the power drill and this will be the area where the cables can go out so it can be connected with the adapter.

After making most of the the box, he needs to place the LED strip properly at the bottom. Then, all the lights can be connected by a cable that will be connected with an adapter. After this is done, he can glue the remaining sides and wait for it to dry before he plugs the adapter to the electrical outlet.

Following these steps properly can let her produce LED light boxes on her own. She can also use lights or strips of different colors in different boxes. This can be a fun activity that can add to the appeal of the room she will be placing them in.
