Copper Circuits

We’re going to be making very simple circuits in this project using LEDs and lithium batteries. This is a great introduction to basic electronics, and might just kick start your love of tinkering around with this type of making.

We’ve designed an adorable robot toy for you to make. We’ll be using a very special tape made of copper, which is a fantastic conductor of electricity.

Card Making

Everyone loves a handmade card, and there are so many reasons for card giving— sending birthday wishes, thank you messages of appreciation, congratulations on a milestone, comforting notes of well wishing when someone is sick, and the list goes on. The positive energy and care you put into creating your cards will certainly be felt by the receiver.

This kit provides enough materials to create 9 cards, but you don’t need to stop there! Additional materials are commonly found; you probably have some extra paper around the house to keep making with.

Some card inspiration

• We’ve gathered some images to help spark some ideas while you work. Check out our Pinterest page by clicking here

  • Try to imitate some of the samples. You won’t get them looking exactly the same, but that’s not the point. We find it really helpful to have an inspirational image to look at when creating cards.
