It also results in a surprising mix of shapes and colors, which are captured on the semi-transparent wax paper screen. This extra light can make your pixel tube look as if it were illuminated from within. The Mylar tubes allow light to pass through either directly or by reflecting from the mirror-like walls, allowing more light to get through the tube than would normally. The shifting shapes and patterns that appear on the screen of your light tube are the result of reflected light mixing and mingling in interesting ways. This will act as your viewing screen when using the pixel tube. (Click to enlarge the photo below.) Again, use a rubber band or tape to hold it in place. This clear window is there to hold the Mylar inside of the paper tube. (Click to enlarge the photo below.)įlip over the tube and cut a piece of wax paper big enough to cover the tube with a little to spare. Use a rubber band or tape to hold it in place. (Click to enlarge the photo below.)Ĭut a piece of plastic cling wrap big enough to cover the top of the tube. You can place as many tubes as you want inside of the tube, but there should be at least enough that they hold each other in place when you lift up the tube. ![]() (Larger tubes will naturally squash into teardrops and other shapes.)Īrrange the Mylar tubes together in the larger paper tube. Feel free to make different diameter tubes, and to vary the shapes you roll them into. They should all be about the height as the paper tube that you made (click to enlarge the photos below). Roll these Mylar sheets into tubes, and tape them so they stay rolled. Measure the height of your tube, it should be a little over 2.5 inches high.Ĭut many strips of the Mylar sheet of various lengths that are the same width as the height of the tube (~2.5 inches wide). Fold your construction paper into equal thirds along the long axis of the paper.Ĭreate a paper tube by rolling this folded construction paper and taping the ends together where they overlap. ![]()
