SOLDERING:

... it�s like hot glue, but metal

COSPLAY ELECTRONICS 101 sparklepipsi.com/electronics101

BUILDING YOUR CIRCUIT

PLAN AHEAD!Where will your lights go?... your switch?... your battery pack?

Make wires in between each of these long enough to reach!!

COSPLAY ELECTRONICS 101 sparklepipsi.com/electronics101

BUILDING YOUR CIRCUIT

If the positive and negative lines touch at any point in your circuit,

nothing will light up!!
