Paper Battery Holder

I am finding that the little plastic battery holders are a bit challenging to work with in a bookbinding project, because they are so thick.

Puttering around on the Internet led me to this awesome discovery!  You can make a paper battery holder that connects to LEDs with copper tape! This type of a battery holder is much THINNER!

I found the tutorial and a template, created by Jie Qi,  at the following link: Paper Batter Holder Tutorial 

Here is the project that I made using a piece of paper-cloth, two flowers printed from a 3D printer, two LEDs, and all of the copper tape that I had.




I just ordered more supplies, and I can hardly wait for them to arrive!
