Overview

As cute as our Circuit Candy Hearts are, we just couldn't leave cute enough alone and had to create a snarky balm to all the nauseating fake Hallmark-holiday love crap. So if Valentine's Day really isn't your deal, take a moment to celebrate yourself and your cold black heart! You deserve it. And the chocolate.

Unpack your Kit

Each kit has the following items included:
1 - Battery Holder
1 - CR2032 Battery
1 - Flat-Top 5mm RGB LED
1 - Binder Ring
1 - Heart

Place LED

Place the LED through the top of the board. Align the flat side of the LED with the flat side of the hole. Once the LED is all the way through bend the legs.

Wrap the Battery holder to the LED

Wrap the red wire around the long leg of the LED. Then bend the LED leg back over capturing the battery wire. Repeat those steps with the black wire on the short leg. (Optional step is to cut off excess wire with wire cutters)

Attach the Binder Ring

Wrap the resistor around the long leg of the LED closest to the screw. then wrap the red wire around the same leg. Once both are attached bend the leg over to secure. Wrap the other end of the red wire to the long leg of the other LED. Once wire is attached bend leg over to secure.

Place Battery in Battery Holder & Turn On!

The Positive side of the batter should be facing up when placed in the battery holder.

Place Resistor & LED

Bend the resistor and place in the top holes. Once the resistor is through the board bend the legs. Place the LED in the bottom holes. It is easiest to have the long leg going through the top hole and the short leg going through the bottom hole.

Connect the Resistor to the LED

Twist together one leg of the resistor to the long leg of the LED. Once twisted together fold in half to secure.

Attach the Battery Holder

Pull the insulation off the end of the wires. You should see a cut in the insulation, pull from there to expose wires.


Wrap the red wire on the battery holder around the other leg of the resistor. Then fold in half to secure. Wrap the black wire of the battery holder around the short leg of the LED. Bend in half to secure. (Optional step is to cut off excess wire with wire cutters)

Place LED & Connect Resistor

Place the LED through the holes. We suggest putting the Long leg through the top hole and the short leg through the bottom hole. Once the LED is through the board, bend the legs. Wrap one leg of the resistor around the long leg of the LED. Then fold the LED leg in half to secure.

Attach the Battery Holder

Pull the insulation off the end of the wires. You should see a cut in the insulation, pull from there to expose wires.


Wrap the red wire on the battery holder around the other leg of the resistor. Then fold in half to secure. Wrap the black wire of the battery holder around the short leg of the LED. Bend in half to secure. (Optional step is to cut off excess wire with wire cutters)

Place Resistor & LED

Bend the resistor and place in the holes. Once the resistor is through the board bend the legs. Place the LED in the holes on the right. Follow the + and - symbols on the circuit. The long LED leg should go through the top and the short leg should go through the bottom.

Connect the resistor to the LED.

Twit together one leg of the resistor to the long leg of the LED. Once twisted together fold in half to secure.

1 - 3mm Red LED
1 - 470 ohm Resistor
1 - Paper Clip
1 - Fastener
1 - Binder Ring
1 - Heart

Place Fastener and LED

Bend one leg of the fastener and insert the unbent one through the board. Place the LED through the holes. The long leg goes through the bottom hole and the short leg goes through the top hole. Bend legs once its through the board.

Place resistor

Wrap one leg of the resistor around the fastener leg. Bend in half to secure. (If your having difficulty bending the fastener in half you can use needle nose pliers.) Then wrap the other leg of the resistor around the long leg of the LED (this should be the leg closest to the fastener). Bend LED leg in half to secure.

Attach the Battery Holder

Pull the insulation off the end of the wires. You should see a cut in the insulation, pull from there to expose wires.


Wrap the black wire around the short leg of the LED. Bend in half to secure. Wrap the red wire around the paper clip. (Optional step is to cut off excess wire with wire cutters)

Attach Paper Clip

Slide the paper clip onto the board and position by the fastener tab. Ben the fastener tab up so the paper clip and tab are not making contact.

Attach Binder Ring


Insert Battery & Turn On!

Once the battery is inserted and the battery holder is turned on, press down on the tab making contact with the paper clip. The LED should light up!
