Step 6: If yes: take a sheet of pink paper. Step 5: Unfold them and check if one of the heart shapes suit your red card Step 3: Draw multiple half heart shapes from the fold Step 2: Take a sheet of white paper and fold a small part of it The size of the cardstock I used is 27 x 13.5 cm (10.6 x 5.3 inches). You can use guidelines to define the center. Step 1: Take a long sheet of red cardstock. Fold both sides towards the center. This additional wiring is what makes this version of the LED pop up cards a bit more difficult.In this photo tutorial you’ll learn step by step how to make this 3D heart card. When a separate segment of copper connects these two strips the long leg of the LED is connected to the battery, the circuit is closed, and the LED is on.īy adding two pieces of the vertical copper tape near each other you can make the heart beat as your finger slides from one to the other. One strip goes only to the battery, while the other strip goes to the long leg of the LED. In this pop-up card template, the swipe of your finger connects two copper strips. This switch is a little more difficult to visualize for young learners since it is not just an open/close situation. In this LED card, the heart will beat as you swipe your finger across it.
The pop up beating heart template is a great way to increase the depth of this activity. When you press on the fold holding the battery in place the circuit is completed and the LED lights up. It is simpler because the switch is more easily identifiable – in this DIY pop up card the switch is just the completion of the circuit with pressure. I would suggest mastering your paper circuit building skills with card first. The LED heart paper circuit is a little bit easier. There is also a whole section below helping you with the science of our DIY LED paper cards!Īre you wondering which of the LED pop up heart card templates is right for you? Don’t forget, if you are having trouble, or just want to see how it’s done before embarking on this 3D cards adventure, watch me on YouTube! So gather up your supplies, print the 3D Valentine’s pop up card templates, and get started.
Paper circuits really fit the bill when it comes to real, fun science. If you have been following us, you know what I’ll say next, I love it when activities teach real science while blending in art and creating fun science. LED paper cards can add a great kick to your card giving this Valentine’s day as well as a little bit of fun educational time to your crafting time.
Not when you can add LEDs to them and learn about circuits. Of course, for us, regular DIY pop up cards is not enough. Plus, an added bonus is that you only need some paper and scissors to make an easy pop up card. I love pop up cards since they give kids a chance to see how things can move and bend in space. DIY pop up heat cards is always a fun adventure to break out on Saturday mornings.
