This document contains instructions for creating several paper circuits, including: 1) A parallel circuit with copper tape, a battery, and an LED light that will light up when the battery is connected. 2) A doorbell circuit using a LilyPad button board, switch, buzzer, and battery to create a circuit that will make a buzzing noise when the button is pressed. 3) A flap or tab switch circuit that uses a piece of paper with copper contact and a battery to create a simple on/off switch that turns the circuit on when the flap is pressed down.
