Look at this hologram that we made today! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thought it turned out amazing and couldn\u2019t wait to show you how we made it so that you can make one similar to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know you want to make holograms that will WOW your friends beyond anything you have made thus far, so without further adieu, let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Elevate Your Hologram Game with the 6×8 Upgrade Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We created this \u201cLOVE\u201d hologram from our 6″x8″ Hologram Upgrade Kit<\/a>. If you are passionate about making high quality holograms in your very own home, this is one of our best kits to level up your skills and let your imagination take you away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide will mainly reference the 6″x8″ Upgrade Kit<\/a> (together with components from your Hologram Kit<\/a>), so if you\u2019re eager to follow along (or simply curious), be sure to get one now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Please note that we have a limited production run of these kits going on right now and do not know when they will be back in stock<\/em>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. First things first, we assembled the starter kit and upgrade kit together according to both instruction guides to make what looks like a tower (looks pretty cool!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. We then set our \u201cLOVE\u201d letters at the brightest point of the 20 mW Laser Diode and adjusted the laser and object as needed. We also used the White Card provided to see the brightest part of the laser easier. (By the way, you can find wooden script cutouts of the “Love” letters and many other phrases at a Michael’s arts and crafts store<\/a>, or on Amazon<\/a>. They were already painted white, which makes them reflect well under the laser light.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      1. After that, we put the shutter card on our laser, made sure the lights were off (or dimmed), and got out our Film Plate (the big 6″x8″ 😱). We placed the glass gently on the “Love” letters, let it settle into position to where it will not wiggle, and then removed the shutter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        1. Here\u2019s where the magic happens. Patiently wait with minimal noise and movement for about 8 minutes for the laser to do its work. I admit I personally just played a game of solitaire on my phone during this time\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Once time was up, we had a beautiful hologram that was an absolute masterpiece! You can see the hologram under the laser light, but because it is a Reflection Hologram, it’s viewable under white light too (spot light, sunlight, or even a smartphone flashlight)! Be sure to see our previous blog post on Reflection Holograms \u2013 Viewing holograms in sunlight or with a smartphone<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Common Mistakes that Could Mess Up Your Holograms! 😭<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            If you have ever tried to make holograms on your own, you have certainly experienced this feeling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            You eagerly build your hologram set up, follow all of the Youtube directions PERFECTLY, wait patiently for the film to expose, then slosh some chemicals around (did we mention that LitiHolo film<\/a> is self-developing?) to hopefully develop into a beautiful hologram!\u2026 only to get a dim or even BLANK result. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \u201cHow could it possibly be?? What did I do wrong? Are the hologram Gods angry with me?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            We understand. Making holograms without something like a LitiHolo Hologram Kit<\/a> can be extremely frustrating (and you can spend $1,000’s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Holograms are something unbelievable and a little bit of science magic! Making holograms in your own home, not in a laboratory, is something incredible that must be experienced for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            LitiHolo\u2019s kits are designed to maximize your chances of getting a beautiful homemade hologram, and to ensure that your hologram journey is marked by triumph and excitement, not frustration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Even with our cutting edge technology at your fingertips, the path to the perfect hologram is still sprinkled with challenges, so here are some golden nuggets of wisdom to perfect your holographic dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
