Stick the LED on your card

Draw your shape and choose a spot for the light, at least 2cm from the edges. Stick two small squares of copper tape there, about 1cm apart. Bend the LED's legs flat out to the sides, once only, and sit one leg on each square. Write + by the long leg and − by the short leg in pencil.
