MATERIALS AND TOOLS Paper strip, preferably cardstock (about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide) Copper tape Clear tape Scissors 3V coin cell battery (CR3032) Small disc shaped magnets Step 1: Take the paper strip and fold it […]
How to Create a Paper Battery Holder with Foam Adhesives
1. Cut a piece of card stock (about 2.5” x 1”). Fold the card stock in half. Trace the battery shape on both halves. Mark the left side as positive (+) and the right side as negative (-). 2. Attach the folded paper on the bottom of your project with glue, tape, adhesive, etc. 3. […]
Other Materials
What can I make with Circuit Stickers? Circuit stickers are light, paper-thin and flexible circuit boards cut into small, fun shapes with anisotropic conductive adhesive on the back. The adhesive sticks to most surfaces and can be used with virtually any conductive materials as “wiring”– such as conductive threads and paints or even wires and […]
How to Solder
This tutorial will explain how to solder to circuit stickers. You will need: Soldering Iron Solder Copper Tape LED sticker Step 1. Place an LED. Lay down your copper tape so that the tape sits on top of the conductive pads of the LED. Step 2. Heat up your soldering iron. Step 3. Cut a piece of solder, […]
