LED flowers



You can make LED flowers from quite affordable materials.
We will need:

1) Plastic (mostly green) two-liter lemonade bottles

2) Copper varnished wire with a diameter of about 0.7 mm (can be replaced with twisted pair wires, but the effect is much worse)

3)LEDs 5 mm transparent, green

4)Second glue

5) Soldering iron


Cut leaves from the bottle and draw veins on them with a hot soldering iron


glue it to the sheet Light-emitting diode second glue


twist the wire like this


solder Light-emitting diode to the wire to make a module like this


From the resulting modules you can collect flowers of any complexity, twisting them together to obtain the effect of a branch trunk. It is better to connect the modules 3 in series and install a 200 Ohm resistor when connecting to a 12 volt power supply. The flower bud itself is made in the same way; to get the effect of rose petals, you need to hold the petals cut from a plastic bottle over a candle for a few seconds so that they melt a little at the edges.
