LEGO STAR WARS DISPLAY WALL (PART 4 – PROVIDING GLASS SUPPORT)


 More photos and DIY details after the Jump!









GEEK this look with the following materials:
- More Ikea DIODER light strips
- Shelving units form previous blog entry
- Option: Black Lego brick (3 Quantity: any size from 1x2 to 1x14)
- Option: Double stick tape and X-acto knife

DIY (Do It Yourself) by following these steps:
- Stick DIODER light strips onto VITTSJO double unit where the vertical center bars use to belong (right below glass shelf to add support)
- Option: Apply double stick tape onto one side of a Lego brick and stick Lego brick onto VITTSJO double unit where the vertical center bars use to belong (right below glass shelf to add support)

BAM! Glass Support!

This is part 4 of my giant Lego Star Wars display wall. This fourth step is to add support to the glass shelving on the Ikea VITTSJO. From the previous blog entry, I removed the vertical center bars from the double units … well, those bars also contained “L” shaped brackets to help support the center of the glass shelves. To replace these brackets, I added more Ikea DIODER light strips ... and in some places, I also stuck Lego bricks to replace some of these “L” brackets. You can just use all light strips if you want, but I thought that would be lighting overkill. Now that the middle of the glass shelves have support, it’s time for the final step of his DIY project (part 5) … so stay tune.
