Draw the circuit with a pencil.

Color around the slit with Copic markers.

Adhere the copper tape on the drawing path.

• Pass the end of the copper tape through the slit and adhere about 1/2 inch tape on the back side.
• At the position of the battery, peel off the release paper, adhere the negative side copper tape, turn it back and cut it.
• At the position of the battery leave about 1 inch of positive side copper tape and cut it.

Place the battery on the copper tape with the positive side up and adhere the positive side copper tape on the battery.

• For better energization, adhere conductive fabric patch on the copper tape.
  (You can omit this step.)
