Make: Origami Paper Circuits Kit – Bring your paper crafts to life!

Pair crafting with circuits for more light-up origami fun! We’ll make a glowing paper balloon, a wild blinking ninja star, and an adorable Ladybug Bot that will buzz around your worktable.


Join us and build your origami skills, learn about electricity, and make something fun with Sandy Roberts and the Make: Origami Paper Circuits Kit.

Combine simple electronics with the centuries-old Japanese paper craft art of Origami. By adding LEDs and self-sticking motors we’re able to create 3D paper craft projects that move, light up, and blink! This is a great way to teach art, design, engineering, and basic electronics.

Watch and make LIVE on the Family Maker Camp FB page or on the Make: Kids Youtube channel.

Materials list:

• Make: Origami Paper Circuits Kit
• An old CD

We will use the following from the the Origami Paper Circuits Kit: four 5mm LEDs, one 10 mm jumbo LED, one vibro pancake motor, three CR2032 batteries, assorted origami paper, Maker Tape, and a binder clip.
