In this Instructable I will teach you how to make a simple flashlight!

Step 1: Gather Materials

For this project you will need...

  • Small light bulb
  • Aluminum foil
  • 9v battery

Thats it!

Step 2: Bulb to Battery

Hold the small bulb horizontally on the negative lead and hot glue it to where it is still touching.

MAKE SURE that the end of the bulb (Silver dot on bottom) doesn't touch the negative lead it will cause a short and the bulb won't light up.
