Print the top and bottom of the UFO on two different pieces of paper. (We recommend a heavier paper stock.)

Cut out the top and bottom pieces, and use a hole punch to make holes in the tab for a string to so you can wear your badge.

Using Maker Tape, a battery, and two LEDs build your circuit on the bottom part of the UFO.
-
See the template for instructions on bending the LED legs so they point the correct way.
-
Add a piece of Maker Tape to act as a switch that can fold over the gap in the circuit to complete it.
-
Use a paperclip as a "switch" to keep your circuit turned on while you wear it.

-
Bend the tabbed pieces on the top part of the UFO so they can go under/behind the bottom part of the UFO.
-
The "legs" of the top part of the UFO let it sit above the bottom part of the UFO so our LED has some room to glow.
-
Attach the tab legs to the back/bottom of the UFO with tape or glue.
