Hot Glue Diffusion Jellyfish Card with Chibitronic LED Stickers

Hey there! Kathy Ceceri here, and for this hot glue diffusion project I created a design that goes under the sea. To recreate the glowing orange and blue jellyfish floating my family saw on a long-ago visit to the New England Aquarium in Boston, I added a layer of hot glue on top of the usual translucent vellum paper to soften and diffuse the brightness of the Chibitronics LED stickers. I love the 3D effect!

You can print out my templates below or create your own design. I used a simple circuit with a basic fold-up switch. Press the pearl in the oyster shell on the front of the card to turn the lights on.
