Geek Graffiti
CCTV Reminder
Using cheap cardboard, I had a couple of pieces cut on the laser printer using the outline I designed.
These documentation images are showing the process of creating this magnetic graffiti project.
INGRIDIENTS: (for one piece)
1 15’’X11’’ sheet of construction paper
3 or 4 LED lights (preferably blinking) and a small lithium battery for each
Sharp knife
Small, strong magnets
Some glue

Converting the design to outlines for the printer (this design can be tweaked so it would not be that hard to cut it by hand!)

Actual cutting!

After cutting. Cleaning and adjusting.

In a very simple manner, adding the LED's and the magnets on the back of the construction paper.

Some images of the back, batteries and magnets, waiting for the glue to dry.

And that is pretty much it! now this piece can be thrown wherever there's a metal area!

Note! If this project will be done in bulks, the cost can be reduced by 50% (I bought the LED's, magnets and batteries at Radio Shack... but if I would do it online it will be much cheaper!)
Stencil idea to be printed on a magnetic sheet (example), then embedding a couple of red blinking LED's;

Building the Cone!
I decided to take go with a pretty inexpensive 'waffle paper' to create the large cone,
![]()
taking the measurements specified in the link below (the one I showed in class), I created a cone that once it's ready,
can be cut to the right size by adjusting the base. It is very simple to do with an exact o-knife, due to the fact that I am using
thick paper.
The image below shows the shape I was working on;
This image shows how I get in to the cone to put some aluminum to support the paper

The last image was taken when the cone was ready to got, although after taking the picture I did cut the base to give it the exact size
needed, and also a straight line.Systems for stickers:
