1.JPG
You need 6 Origami papers, Cooper Tape, 1 CR016 Battery , 1 Transistor 2N700 NCH MOSFET, 1 LED, 1 Resistor 1k ohm and scissors

2.JPG
Put the origami paper color side down

4.JPG
Fold on the horizontal diagonal. Crease well and unfold.

6.JPG
Fold both top and bottom tips to meet in the center and crease.

8.JPG
9.JPG
Fold the bottom again both sides to the center.

10.JPG
Fold both left and right tips.

12.JPG
Fold each corner towards the center. Each corner to the middle of the opposite side.

13.JPG
Hide each corner into the flap.

15.JPG
16.JPG
Paper over and fold each corner as in the picture.

18.JPG
Fold the six papers exactly the same.

20.JPG
For assembling, use 1 of each color. Insert the tips into the pockets of the other paper.

21.JPG
Insert another tip into the other side of pocket.

24.JPG
Flip the paper over, once you have the top side bring up the tips above and insert them into the pocket of the new paper.

30.JPG
Keep inserting the tips into the pockets. And you will finish assembling it.

To put light on it: take one folded paper, the Cooper Tape, 1 CR016 Battery , 1 Transistor 2N700 NCH MOSFET, 1 LED, 1 Resistor 1k ohm, insulating tape and scissors.

Cut about 4 cm of cooper tape and stick it from the left corner diagonal to the center.
Cut another piece of cooper tape, about 10 cm. Paper over and stick the tape 2 cm from the right conrner, paper over again and continue sticking the tape as in the picture, stop when you get the same distance as the first tape.

38.JPG
39.JPG
Put the battery just above the end of the first tape and stick the second tape on the battery guiding the tape to the left down corner.

40.JPG
41.JPG
43.JPG
Cut a third piece of cooper tape, about 8 cm. Turn over the paper and stick the third tape beside the second tape. Turn over the paper again and continue sticking the tape closely to the left edge as in the picture. Be sure the tapes do not touch each other.

44.JPG
Cut and stick some insulating tape, enough to cover the battery, the first and second cooper tape.

45.JPG
47.JPG
Take the transistor and put it above the black tape, flat side upward. Make sure the first leg is touching the first cooper tape. Cut some cooper tape and stick it on as in the picture.

48.JPG
49.JPG
50.JPG
Put the resistor right below the second leg of the transistor, be sure the legs are touching each other and the resistor's bottom is touching the third cooper tape. Cut two more pieces of cooper tape to stick the resistor to the transistor and the resistor's bottom to the third cooper tape, as in the picture.

51.JPG
54.JPG
Take the LED and stick its shortest leg to the third leg of the transistor, with cooper tape also. Stick the shortest leg of the LED to the second cooper tape. Look the picture.

55.JPG
56.JPG
Finally we have the magic. Touch the second and third cooper tape at the same time so the light can be on. To turn it of, touch the third and first cooper tape at the same time. Look the picture.

You can assemble 5 color papers and fold one transparent paper to be able to see the light.
