Print out the full-color card, or print out the black and white card and color.

Poke holes through the front of the card for the LED legs, then push the legs through the front. If you are using thicker paper, for safety, use a push pin to poke the holes in the paper to put the LED legs through first.
-
Make note of where the Positive (long leg) and Negative (short let) go.
-
On the inside of the card, bend the long LED leg down flat against the paper.
-
Tape battery down (positive side to positive LED leg; negative side to negative LED leg).
