Project feature: Circuit Stickers birthday card

7/22/2015

I backed Circuit Stickers by Chibitronics last year when it was crowd funded, but I haven't had the chance to try them out. I decided to make a birthday card where the candle on a cupcake lights up with an LED.
Picture
First I drew a cupcake and punched a hole where I wanted the LED to light up the flame. I cut out construction paper pieces for the cupcake. Drawing an image works well too.
Picture
I drew the battery positions and placed the copper tape so that it lights up the LED circuit sticker (the positive side of the battery touches positive side of the LED). The Circuit Stickers instruction booklet use this clever corner fold for the battery to turn on the circuit, so I used it for my card.
Picture
Tada! The candle lights up when you fold the battery into the corner!
Doing your own Circuit Stickers project?  I'm sure they would love to hear from you!

    Welcome to my desk, where LEDs get tangled in fabric, fiber, and thread.
