Create an infinity mirror LED in simple way

Finally, I was able to create Infinity mirror LED effect.
Please see the YouTube video for the final product.





Materials required:

1) Plywood.
  You can buy a small piece plywood or reuse from leftovers.
2) Mirror.
  You need to buy this. This is ordinary mirror that can be found in any glass house nearby
3) Plain Glass.
   You need to buy this from the local glass house.
4) Silver tint sun film.
   You need this to create one way mirror. This can be found from cooling film selling shops. This is mostly used in the cars for window tint cooling mirror.
5) Shampoo sachet
  This is used for sticking sun film to the glass. You can use any shampoo or soap.
6) LED strip.
  This I have bought from ebay. This comes with remote control and power supply and can easly stick on the plywood surface. Link for buying is http://www.ebay.in/
7) Glass adhesive gum.
 This is used for sticking the mirror and glass to plywood
8) Cello Tape (Transparent) and Insulation Tap (Black)
9) Cardboard.
10) Scissors.

Procedure: 
Create a frame which is of 2 inch thickness and hollow frame that can have both top and bottom some groove to keep a mirror and Glass. Make a hole in the mirror. A mirror can be fixed at the bottom part.
Inside the frame along with the middle part you may stick the LED strip.
In the middle of the mirror you can place any shape that is made up of cardboard, sheet by cutting and pasting using cello tape.
Continue pasting along the middle of the shape using LED strip. The extra on the way to join LED to the shape you can hide LED by covering with black insulation tape. The connector part of the LED strip can be taken out through the hole that is made.

Wash and dry one side of the glass and apply Shampoo, Tint silver film can be attached by sticking. The tint sheet is a sticker, so remove the mask and stick the adhesive portion of the glass. Stick with the one way mirror on the top of the frame by placing reflective mirror side facing down words (i.e mirror and reflective oneway mirror face each other).

Join the LED strip connectors to the controller. 4 wires will be there black being the ground shall be attached to the controller connecter on the side arrow. Power up the controller by giveing DC 12 V in by given adapter. Use remote to change and play with LED color and design.

That is all, Infinity mirror LED is ready.
