Paper Circuits

Fold cardstock paper in half and create artwork on front.
Determine where light will go & gently poke a very small hole through card.
Tape 2 pieces of conductive tape parallel on either side of the hole (inside card).
Label one piece of tape + (positive) and the other – (negative).
Push light through hole. Tape shorter leg (-) to negative tape & longer leg (+) to positive tape. Make sure the end of leg is on tape.
Tape battery down (positive side down to positive tape). Use just a little tape, most of the battery needs to be uncovered.
Test light by laying final piece of conductive tape across battery & negative tape to complete the circuit.
Take backing off final piece of tape and lay across battery. Close card, so it sticks on opposite side.
