Acrylic boxes make great room decorations, largely due to their
versatility. They're cheap, they may be clear or colored, and they come
in many sizes, allowing them to serve a variety of purposes. Acrylic
boxes are often the basis of attractive permanent displays designed to
show off awards, statues or crafting projects, but they also make great
temporary party decorations.
These are one option to consider when you want to frame an object or
maybe an entire collection. In this article you fill find some ideas on
how to build your own boxes.
Acrylic boxes are not that difficult to construct. They do, however, require care and accuracy in measurement.
Acrylic boxes can easily be made for different purposes as terrariums,
aquarium tanks, and storage boxes. You can buy acrylic in different
shapes and sizes depending on the use for it, because acrylic is not
simple to cut. It is possible to make good boxes for all kinds of retail
and all kinds of display applications
.
Here are some instructions on how to make acrylic boxes:
1.
Attach 2 pieces of acrylic of 1-foot wide by 1-foot long to each other
at 90 degrees angle so that the edges that meet are flush against each
other... If the box will not be used as an aquarium or terrarium you can
use acrylic cement. Be careful, the cement that you use can be harmful
to pets or flowers, so if you will use the acrylic box as a terrarium or
maybe an aquarium, use safe silicone adhesive in that purpose. Glue the
two pieces together using clips and allow time to dry. Then repeat this
process with two other square pieces.
2. To create a square frame, attach the two corners to each other. Wait for the adhesive to dry.
