New Year holidays are just around the corner and if you are thinking about how to make a garland of light bulbs or LEDs with their hands, below we provide some original master classes with photos and video examples.The advantage of homemade Electrogarlands in the fact that it can be assembled from improvised means and at the same time to develop their skills in working with wires and a soldering iron lamps!

idea №1 - In case the lamp 220 V!

To your attention the first and most interesting master class that demonstrates how to make a garland of electric lamps 220 W. So, first prepare the following tools and materials (all shown in the photo):

A list of all the necessary

Need a little stop on the wire.It should take 6 meters.Twisted Pair has been taken as an example, but you can use the two-wire or two-core.The advantage of a twisted pair is that it makes Electrogarlands beautiful and festive, it is very important for the New Year.

Begin the assembly with the cutting wire into 9 parts 50 centimeters and the remaining piece, which will have a length of 150 cm.

Then we clean the ends for which it is best to use a special tool to remove the insulation from the wires.To braid fabric pushilas not, be sure to burn it, and then put on the edge of the heat shrink insulation.

After that you need to collect the electric plug homemade Christmas garlands that will not be the complexity of even inexperienced electrician.To connect the fork take the length of wire with a length of 150 cm.

Unscrew the cartridges and go to the compound 10 incandescent bulbs.It is better to use a parallel connection of lamps in the manufacture of electric garlands at 220 volts.In this case, if one bulb burns out the rest will shine as brightly.

When all cartridges will be collected in a single chain will only have to screw the lamp and ignite ready Electrogarlands.Here on a step by step instructions to make a garland on a Christmas tree at home!As you can see, everything is quite simple and at the same time interesting!

By the way, you can also use a serial connection of light bulbs.Only in this case it is necessary to use an incandescent lamp, which will make the total voltage of 220 V, for example: 20 pieces to 12 or 40 volts for 6.

idea №2 - We modernize old Electrogarlands

If you just do not like the fact that the light on the Christmas tree last year, you can decorate the original electric garland using conventional paper cups from under coffee.Make a beautiful New Year's article is quite simple.To begin, prepare the glasses, scissors, glue, tape and paper for scrapbooking.

Materials and tools

Then cut and expand one of the cups, which will be the template for cutting out decorative wrapper.The die cut blank, sticking them on the glass, using glue or double-sided tape.

pasting glasses

After that, the bottom cut out homemade lampshades place for a light bulb and insert them back, securing the outside of a thin strip of adhesive tape.

We are preparing for the new year

New idea

That's it - Electrogarlands ready!This way you can make a normal LED garland on a Christmas tree more elegant and festive!

idea №3 - LEDs in the business!

third way to collect electric garland in the New Year with your hands - use LEDs on 12 volts.To begin, prepare light bulbs, wire, block on 12v power supply, a resistor, a soldering iron, knife and sealant.

Driving Electrogarlands

If you decide to make the LED garland on 12 volts, for a start, calculate the step of the installation of LEDs.It is recommended to place them every 20 cm. On the wire make a mark and strip the place of about 10-15 mm for connecting diodes.

Next on the loose strands, apply rosin and solder drip.Learning how to solder wires can be according to our instructions.Then solder the wires to the LEDs, and for a better fixation of bulbs, wrap them in thin strips of adhesive tape and fill with sealant.

Connecting LEDs

In the latest turn soldered resistor and the power supply.By the way, a soldering iron to make your own hands, you can also effortlessly, using the means at hand.Worth to see another interesting master class on video lesson:

idea №4 - cycling old keyboard!

By analogy with the previous method, you can make a diode garland with their hands, using a keyboard unnecessary.As you know, some of the keys are illuminated diodes at 5 volts (for example, the Caps Losk).If you have idle keyboard, disassemble it and gently remove the bulb from which it will be possible to assemble a simple Electrogarlands.Next, pick the appropriate resistors and USB cord, through which the connection will be made.Driving diode garlands following:

parallel connection

soldered diodes feet (anode and cathode) need to black and red wires of the power cord, in accordance with the color-coded.When everything is ready, insulate the exposed contacts and proceed to test homemade garlands.In this case, home-made feed is from 220 volts through a charger that just will output 5V

idea №5 - How to decorate the street?

If you want to make a garland on the street diodes for the garden, be sure to use this master class.First, collect all of the materials:

  • multicolored diodes with a diameter of 10 mm;
  • 3-volt lithium batteries;
  • thin adhesive tape;
  • magnets with a diameter of 13 mm and 30 mm thick;
  • epoxy adhesive.

Next you need to fix the legs of diodes to the battery by means of glue.The anode (longer leg) is attached to the positive pole and the cathode, respectively, to the side with the sign "-".When the glue grips additionally wrap the luminous diode with battery with tape.

to the positive pole of the lithium battery and attach the magnet and wrap the tape several times.Do this for 10-20 bulbs, and then secure them in convenient places on the street, for example, on the facade of the house.Thus, it is possible to collect street electrogarlands of 5-volt diodes.

Result

's all workshops, we wanted to demonstrate.Hopefully, you now know how to make a garland of light bulbs and diodes with their own hands, becausesubmitted photos, videos and diagrams were pretty clear!
