Hologram!

Yes, you read the title right. I made a hologram -- kinda.
I had purchased some cds which came with cd cases which was just what I needed for this project.

Oh boy was I excited!

Materials you'll need:

1. CD plastic case

2. Smartphone or tablet with Youtube

3. Exacto knife or other cutting tool

4. Hot glue gun

5. Pen

6. Pencil
7. Ruler
8. Scissors

How to Do it!

Step 1: Gather your materials ^_^

Step 2: Draw a 1 cm x 3.5 cm x 6 cm isosceles trapezoid

and cut that out to be your template.

Step 3: Break off the cover flap of the case

and snap off the sides.

Step 4: Trace the template onto the flat plastic.

Step 5: With your cutting tool either score the material or if you are using a tool that grates away material, cut straight through. (A grating tool would be like a high speed rotary tool.)
This was where I went wrong. I stupidly tried to use a pair of scissors to cut it out, this is what happened.

Step 6: For me, scoring the plastic with an exacto knife 

took about 30-45 minutes per trapezoid.

Snap out the piece.

Step 7: Use your first piece as your new template. Trace and cut 3 more trapezoids.

Step 8: If needed sand down the sides to make sure they are the right size. (I just shaved the sides with an exacto knife.)

Step 9: Arrange the pieces into a 3D square pyramid with top and bottom corners touching.

Step 10: Hot glue each piece to the other until you are left with your hologram maker thing.

Step 11: On your phone pull up youtube and play one of these channel's videos:

And put your hologram maker small side down in the middle.
