I’ve created a small cardboard model of my design. The lights do not make an image as they would in the final design. However, through making this design, I have decided that the lights will have to be connected to the bottom to keep them straight. I wanted to be able to reuse the LEDs that I used in this design, so I did not solder any wires together, which is why the lights don’t light up. Below is my shopping list, and a timeline I’ve created in order to complete the project well, and on time.
- LED Lights – used to make the images
- Corner Pieces – used to connect the pvc pipes
- Pipes – used to create the framework
- Fishing Line – to hold the LED lights from the bottom to keep them straight
- Power Supply – to light up the LEDs
- Pegboard – to hang the lights from and connect them from the bottom
- Wiring – to extend the wires (if needed)

- Order/buy parts – Sept 19th
- Have framework created – Sept 22nd
