✨ Build Your Own Magic Mirror with Secret Messages! ✨
In this video, I’ll show off my laser-etched acrylic Magic Mirror — a project powered by the Adafruit Sparkle Motion board running WLED. With a hidden motion sensor, the mirror lights up with secret glowing messages when you walk by.
The secret? Behind the two-way mirror acrylic sits edge-lit etched acrylic. When the lights are off, it just looks like a mirror. But when WLED turns on the LEDs, the etched designs shine through — revealing your magic messages.
🔧 Tools & Tech Used:
Laser for etching messages
Two-way mirror acrylic + etched acrylic panel
Adafruit Sparkle Motion board
WLED (for lighting control + animations)
NeoPixel strips
PIR sensor for motion-controlled message display
Whether you’re a maker, cosplayer, festival artist, or just love interactive art, this project is a great way to combine electronics, coding, and design into something truly magical.
