Easiest LED light doodler/pen

I know many others have submitted instructables detailing how to make an LED writer pretty easily but I thought I'd show some of you who may be just as lazy as I, how to make one in under two minutes with materials you're sure to find around the house.

Step 1 Materials

All you need is:
a 3v button cell battery (cr2302)
an LED
about a 2 inch strip of wire
tape (vinyl insulating tape works best)

So how does it work? I took a light from those pens that when u unfold them, the light turns on so that u can see in the dark while u write. So does ur drawing stay in mid air. How can I do that with my little light thing. When I push this spring on both sides of the light it turns on. So can u help me make my drawings stay in mid air? I like urs. Simple cuz I don't have a soldering iron

Yes very much inspired by the throwie but w/ an added push switch.

Indeed! I was going to be sarcastic about yet-another-copy-of-a-throwie, but the switch is a useful addition, especially for this use.

Thank you. :)

You're welcome. I gave you some stars as well.

Cool, and easy. I got my brother into doing this, and we always try to find LED things for the images. :P Nice job. +5/5 stars.
