Make an Infinity Mirror Candy Box That’s Perfect for #ValentinesDay
Sure, you could make this infinity mirror candy box for Valentine’s Day. You also could just make this because it’s fun and you know that either you’ll enjoy if it you keep it for your self or that the intended receiver will be impressed by the double gift of glowy treats.
An infinity mirror is an optical illusion that makes a single row of lights look like countless rows of lights, receding into the void forever. It’s created by placing a one-way mirror over a second mirror with lights in-between. The lights turn the upper mirror transparent from the outside. Inside, the two mirrored surfaces reflect each other in ever decreasing images. The lights appear to be marching in perspective towards a vanishing point, which gives them the feeling of depth.
This guide will show you how to build an infinity mirror box lid and light it two different ways
