Step 1: make a bottom
Remove the foil from the two grey sheets and place the small sheet in the centre of the large one. Draw the shape of the small acrylic sheet. Then put your gloves on before glueing the two sheets together. Allow the adhesive to dry well.
Step 2: glue the narrower sides
Now it’s time to glue the sides of the wind light. Start with the transparent acrylic sheet with a width of 15 centimetres. First, apply glue to the edge of the smaller grey acrylic sheet. Then put the transparent sheet against the edge and hold it until the glue has dried.
Step 3: glue the wider sides
Then grab the sheet with a width of 15.6 centimetres. Apply glue to the edge of the smaller grey sheet and to the side of the sheet that you have already glued. Now apply the second sheet. Note that the two sheets are at a 90-degree angle to each other. Attach tape to both acrylic sheets so that the glue can dry.
Step 4: attach the remaining sheets
Now you can attach the two remaining transparent acrylic sheets, in the same way as in step three. Fix all glued parts together with tape and let it dry overnight.
After drying, your do-it-yourself wind light is ready to use and you can add a candle holder with a candle. You can, of course, also use the wind light as a display case by using it to display a plant or other decorative item. Check out our blog for more fun DIY ideas with acrylic sheet.
