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.
-
Bend over the LED legs 90 degrees.
-
Make sure you bend the legs the right way to match up with the polarity on the inside of the card.
-
Poke holes through the front of the card for LED legs.
-
On inside of card, bend legs down flat against paper.
-
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.
