MOVIE POSTER LIGHT BOX DIY (PART 1 - INSIDE FRAME)


More photos and DIY details after the Jump!






GEEK this look with the following materials:
- 1 X 2 pine wood (8 feet long - two quantity)
- Wood screws
- Saw (miter saw, hand saw, circular saw, or jig saw)
- Drill, drill bit, countersink
- Tape measure
- Rope light - incandescent or LED (about 18 feet long)
- 27" x 40" wood frame (backing cover piece)

DIY (Do It Yourself) by following these steps:
- Measure and cut two quantity vertical wood pieces (41.75" long)
- Measure and cut three quantity horizontal wood pieces (27" long)
- Drill and countersink holes on the top and bottom of the vertical wood pieces
- Assemble the pine wood pieces using wood screws to create "inside frame"
- Screw the backing cover from the 27" X 40" wood frame onto newly created "inside frame"
- Install rope light using the mounting hardware that's included with the lights
- Screw newly created "inside frame" assembly onto wall

BAM!  Inside frame for movie poster light box!

Since this "inside frame" will not be visible, purchase the cheapest 1 X 2 pine wood possible. Part 2 of this DIY coming next week. The 27" x 40" wood frame front piece will be converted into the "outside frame" for this movie poster light box DIY.
