Cut the template paper and tape it to the cutting mat on the opposite corners, then cut a piece of the Acetate sheet and attached with tape on the other opposite corners.

- Mark the folding lines with the unsharpened knife and the ruler.
- Mark the 2 holes for the led's legs. and cut the line for the switch.
- Cut the template with the sharped knife and the ruler.
- Don't forget to cut the piece of plastic for the tab switch.

Start folding the template, but don't fold it completly, because we need to insert the led, the 2 batteries and the plastic tab that functions like the switch.

i'll probably use this to make a battery box with a switch at some point. it is simple as most brilliant ideas are.
When i can't get acetate to play with i laminate an a4 laminating pouch and it is about the right thickness and flexibility.

Hey Becava got a suggestion. This would be a good Idea. To make a version of this to try to fit one of these on a light bulb socket and maybe step it down to make a miniature Light bulb that is hard wired that you can just screw on and would be able to turn on with the light switch instead. Just a thought
