**SORRY FOR THE BACKGROUND NOISE IN THE VIDEO... MY DUAGHTER WAS PLAYING WITH HER TOYS AND HAVING A DANCE PARTY WHILE I WAS RECORDING! :) :)
This video will instruct you on how paper circuits work, and step-by-step instructions that will help you complete the paper circuit. Please follow along with the video and complete the paper circuit at your own pace.
You should have the following:
Paper circuit template
1 plastic bag
Copper tape
1 LED lightbulb
1 watch battery
Get a piece of plain white paper - FOLD IT IN HALF!
On one of the outside sides of the fold, draw a picture of something that you are interested in (logo, design, image, etc.)
Color picture
Locate where you want to put your LED lights
Draw dots for lights on the back of the picture (inside the flap)
On your image, locate where you want your push button to go
On the same side as the light dots, draw a circle with a negative sign inside (inside flap behind your picture)
On the opposite flap (where the negative battery symbol touches) place a positive battery symbol
Draw a rough sketch of where your copper tape will be placed - Follow this diagram as a guide...
Place the copper tape following the guide that you drew - keep in mind that the tape should lay across the battery symbols and should have a space or "break" where the LED light will be placed
Punch the LED lights through the front flap of the paper from the outside where the picture is located
Bend the short LED prong to the tape touching the negative battery symbol
Bend the long LED prong to the tape touching the positive battery symbol
Tape each LED prong to the correct side using copper tape
Place the positive side of the battery (smooth side) to the positive battery symbol
Tape the battery down using scotch tape - follow the following guidelines to tape your battery to the paper - DO NOT place the tape in the middle of the battery
Close the paper at the fold so that you can see the picture and the LED lights - press in the area where the battery is located
When pressed, the LED lights should light up - if not backtrack through the steps to ensure that you followed them correctly
