@VoltPaperScissors I started from your video instructions and modified to match what I had on hand... the connections to the LEDs are quite unstable using copper tape, and tracing paper is terribly fragile (I ended up reinforcing every single fold with tape), and in sum I regret everything, but it was great fun as an exercise!! When it stops working it'll be a fun nonfunctional decoration -- I'm really pleased with it. Thanks again for sharing this project. #paperCircuit #papercraft

@iris hey! Thanks for sharing your experience. It aligns pretty much with my experiences. Copper tape does not make good connections. Especially the standard copper tape with non-conductive adhesive. Also I can not find translucent paper that is nice to fold. Its always too sturdy and/or breaks. Or to flimsy to print on. Anyway! Your book lamp turned out well and I really like the recycled book cover!

@iris one more thing: the upside of copper tape is that you can solder to it!
