Introduction
Create a light-up 4th of July card with red, white, and blue LEDs!
There's a full-color version as well as a black & white version that makes a great coloring activity.
You can make this project (and many more!) with our Paper Circuits Kit.

In general build this project in this order:
-
Print out the full-color card, or print out the black and white card, and color/decorate as desired.
-
Poke holes through front for LED legs, then push legs through front.
-
On inside of card, bend the LED legs down flat against paper as shown.
-
Add Maker Tape and battery to complete your circuit.
-
Note: If you are using thicker paper (such as cardstock) we recommend using a large safety pin to poke the holes in the paper to put the LED legs through.

-
Red, White & Blue are common colors for the 4th of July, but you can use whatever colors you want... Get Creative!
-
You can even use green LEDs or go nuts and use color changing LEDs found in our Paper Circuits Kits.
-
The LEDs in our kits have built-in resistors, so mixing colors in a single circuit will work just fine.

Enjoy your card!
