Enhancing a Hideous Christmas Decoration from Poundland
Channel: bornach
Date: 2019-12-24

This rather naff looking Christmas sign didn't sell very well at Poundland 3 years ago (2016). There were many left over in the after season sales so I picked this one up for 50p. I demonstrate how to improve its appearance by replacing the LEDs with red ones, drilling more holes for the LEDs, and animating them by reusing a microcontroller PCB from an old meteor shower light.
