Introduction
Create a knife switch with this template and conductive Maker Tape. All you need is some cardboard, Maker Tape, a few brass fasteners, and an LED and CR2032 battery.
We also have a Giant Cardboard Knife Switch. Sometimes bigger is better!
You can make this project (and many more!) with our Paper Circuits Kit.
