Juggling Life with Chibitronics LED Sticker Circuit (slide)

 Hi Everyone,

I am so excited to be part of the amazing Chibitronics Design Team.

Today I am sharing my first card on the Chibitronics Instagram page.

Below is a full picture tutorial of how this card is made:

Step 1:  Create the front of the card

Step 2: Trace out the lights and battery. This is the base and is thick board.

I made a 'removable' battery for this card.  Trust me, the battery doesn't last long in this card as it is fun to play with.

Step 3:  Adhere conductive tape for positive connection

Step 4:  Adhere conductive tape for Negative Connection

Step 5:  Adhere Chibitronice LED Stickers & Foam tape

Step 6:  Adhere card front to base

Step 7:  This is the 'removable' battery sleeve.  Makes it easy to change that battery.

Step 8: The finished card.

I have added 'balls' over the lights with clear 3D tape.

To activate the LED lights, you slide your finger across the sentiment.

Have fun!
