1 - Krampus
2 - 3mm Red LEDs
1 - Battery Holder
1 - CR2032 Battery
1 - Length of chain
1 - Jump ring

This is a beginner-friendly Krampus Kit! If you'd like the satisfaction of putting together something yourself, but aren't quite up for the Hacker Challenge, this is the kit for you! Just put the 2 LEDs through the board, wrap them with the wires from the battery holder, insert the battery, and you're ready for some demonic fun!

How to Build

Unpack your Kit

Each kit has the following items included:

1 - Krampus

2 - 3mm Red LEDs

1 - 47ohm Resistor

1 - Battery Holder

1 - CR2032 Battery

1 - Length of chain

1 - Jump ring

Place LEDs into holes

Be sure to place LEDs in same direction (if long leg is going through top hole for the first LED then the long leg needs to go through the top hole on the 2nd LED) Bend LED legs once going away from the center and one going towards the center (make sure to keep bending consistent on each LED (if you bend the negative leg away and the positive towards repeat for all LEDS

Twist LED Legs together and add the resistor

Grab the two negative (short) LED legs and twist them together 3-4 times. Then grab the two positive (long) LED legs and twist them together 3-4 times. Grab your resistor and twist together with the positive legs. After the LED legs and resistor are twisted together, fold the legs in half.

Attach the battery holder

Wrap the negative battery holder wire around the two negative LEDs legs. Then fold over. Wrap the positive battery holder wire around the resistor and then fold over. Optional step is to cut off extra resistor or battery holder wire.

Attach the chain and jump ring

Take the jump ring and bend to make an opening. Put through the chain and then thread the chain through the loop on Krampus. Then put the other end of the chain on the jump ring and bend back to the ends are touching and the ring is closed.
