One of the stages of preparation for the New Year is the decoration of the house inside and out. This helps to create a special, festive atmosphere. The implementation of the idea and the creation of LED figures will provide an opportunity to spend more time with the family together, chat and enjoy the results of their labors. Thanks to this, people of different ages are immersed in a fairy tale, and adults begin to dream like children.
3D street decorations
Now LED street figures are installed not only on the streets and squares, many families decorate the local area with them. Installations can look like animals, fairy-tale characters or geometric shapes. In fantasy, you should not limit yourself. However, such products have a unifying feature - they must all be voluminous.
Earlier, LED decorations for the New Year could be purchased in specialized stores. But the availability of the necessary materials makes it possible to make them yourself, at no extra cost, and the money saved can be spent on gifts for relatives, friends and loved ones.
The infinity of ideas allowsrecreate the most incredible installations. If the yard is large and there is a lot of free time, then you can make Santa Claus on a sleigh, place several bears nearby and be sure to have a snowman. Although such jewelry came to us from the West, now they are in great demand, so it is worth understanding the process of their creation.
Use and range of volumetric figures
It should be noted that LED figures are mostly used to decorate trading floors or entertainment centers. This is explained very simply: you can create a festive atmosphere in such an original way, attract more visitors with the bright and bewitching brilliance of garlands, and advertise the products offered for purchase.
And then a logical question arises: "If you can buy LED figures, then why waste time on their execution?". The answer is quite banal - not always stores offer jewelry that is suitable in size and quality. Often the price tag is too high, and the choice of color glow options is poor. All this limits the consumer and does not allow to fully enjoy the festive atmosphere.
3D LED deer
He, like any other figure, consists of two main elements. First of all, it's a frame. Often it is made of metal. It should bend easily, but at the same time be resistant to mechanical stress and keep its shape perfectly. The second element is an LED (glowing) tape.
It will be correct to call it "duralight". By appearanceresembles a cord, inside of which, light bulbs (diodes) are equidistantly located. In order for the illumination to be uniform, the element must be placed throughout the frame. As a result, you can create a product that is not just beautiful, but also of high quality, as well as a safe product.
Required supplies
Regardless of how the product is planned to be made (animal, fairy-tale character), you need to have basic supplies on hand to make the work fun.
For any LED figure you will need:
- plywood;
- copper wire;
- plastic pipes;
- fasteners (to fix the tape, you can use plastic ties in the form of a clamp);
- acrylic (additional decoration of the figure, creating an imitation of ice);
- LED strip (white or blue duralight).
You can use the lighting element in any color scheme. It is necessary to build on what decoration is planned to be made. When everything you need is prepared, you can start making LED figures for the New Year.
Step by step manufacturing instructions
The figure begins to be created with a preparatory sketch. If there is no ability to draw, then you can use a ready-made template. It is important to appreciate the complexity of the design: in the absence of experience in such work, it is better to give preference to simple forms.
The next step is to make a pattern. Here you will already need pre-prepared plywood. In the place where according to the sketcha bend is planned, a small nail is driven in. This will be part of the volumetric figure. First, the work is done on the copper wire, and then the LED strip will be attached to it.
Metal or acrylic transparent tubes can be used for patterns. When the frame is ready, duralight is applied to it. To keep the resulting shape, clamps are used. It is very important to carefully fix the tape along the entire length of the product. After completing the design, you can connect it to a power source and enjoy the result: the LED deer is ready.
One more nuance: duralight is connected through a special converter (power supply), since it is low-voltage itself. If it is powered directly to a 220 V network, then all the lamps will burn out due to the high load.
It's very easy to make your own voluminous street figure. This will help you have fun with your family, as well as save money on home decorations.
