how to make an infinity mirror

Mirrors are cool, so are LED lights, so what if we put one and one together. That’s exactly what I did with something the internet calls “the infinity mirror”. Its a mirror that projects LED lights off itself and reflects it into the mirror. Its amazing and thanks to the wiki how article I used.

1: Gather mirrored window tint, a picture frame that is thick, a mirror the same size as your frame, string LED s lights, wooden small rectangles (if the mirror is the exact size of the frame you can glue it down to the frame), something to groove out wood or whatever the frame is made of, and a lot of hot glue or gorilla glue.

2: Remove the glass of the frame, and set it somewhere. meanwhile clean both the mirror and the glass with a little bit of glass cleaner.

3: Cut out a piece of window tint bigger than the glass and follow the instructions for putting the window tint onto the glass. let that dry for a few hours to be on the safe side.

4: If you want a symbol in the middle of the infinity mirror get some thin, flat wood and paint, engrave, or cut whatever you want into the piece of wood. get creative with this part.(like if you make a symbol from a violent game, add some acrylic paint to the frame to give it a blood stained or blood covered effect)

5: When the tent is done drying grab the frame and the mirror and get to assemble.

6: Put the glass down in the frame first, if the frame has a backing put the mirror in first, dig out a groove big enough for the LED cord to fit, put, and glue the wooden rectangles on to the mirror if needed. put the LED s on the inside of the frame, making sure to get into the corners. feed the wire into the groove, put the frame or mirror on top and glue it down.

(optional)7: Brag to your friends about how cool you are with this mirror, its pretty sick.

i created a kind of nice infinity mirror and i’m creating another mirror.
