Step 2: Stick the Copper Tape

On the inside of the card, stick copper tape along the printed paths. This creates your circuit.

Insert the LED legs through the small hole at the diya flame spot.

  • Long leg = positive (+) copper tape

Tape the CR2032 battery at the circle mark. Ensure the + side faces up so it matches the circuit.

Your Diwali card is ready 🎉. Press the marked corner to make the diya glow.
