Material:

  • Wood sheet;
  • Feather;
  • Copper Tape;
  • LEDs;
  • Hot Glue;
  • Soldering tools;
  • Wires;
  • 3V battery;

Process:

I did spend some time thinking about the circuit of how can make it work. First I know that I need parallel; But where to put the break (switch) and also incorporate with the aesthetic placement of the LEDs is a little bit tricky. I only want to light up one LED at a time when the feather touching on one corresponding switch. Finally the circuit work out like this:

Start placing the LEDs on the wood sheet. Facing different directions to light up.

Adding feathers layer by layer.
