Re: Cheap and Easy Film Cell Backlit Display (mine is BTTF)

Pobbrett was right. Just fill in black for whatever cells you want hidden during that time.

for instance:

The screen size is 7" which is perfect to sit on a shelf. I went with the Sylvania model (link to the model I bought on walmart's website is in my original post) because it was cheap and looked to be easily dismantled, which it was.

If you end up going with that model I'd be happy to post a template for the matte you'd need to make which would save you some time. It displays five 35mm cells.

I'll be adding a template to this thread tomorrow for anyone interested in making their own.

annnnd of course I forgot to bring the frame with me to work today to scan it and make the template...I set a reminder with Siri to bring it tomorrow..
 
The template has been added to the bottom of the original post! I hope you guys can use it. I am looking forward to seeing what themes you guys do with yours.
