I made this for a 3D design class. The subject was repetition of an object to create a pattern or design. I built the frame from a single piece of wood, which I then cut into four different pieces. I created a backing for it by going to Hobby Lobby and butchering the back of a cheap picture frame that I purchased. I also made certain the frame had the hangers required to hang it from the wall. I bought a string of alternating LEDs from target. I bent the length of the lights in the middle and taped them together. I installed them into the frame using a hot glue gun. I cut the wire leading to the 6 volt battery box that the lights came with to power them, then soldered that wire to a 6 volt DC wall outlet plug, hot glued the soldering points, and taped it all with electrical tape. I ran the wire from the lights to the outlet through a hole I created at the bottom of the frame. I took it to a glass shop; they installed the mirror onto the front of the backing and the one way mirror onto the top of the frame.
