Light-Up Valentine's Infinity Mirror Candy Boxes (with a hidden compartment!)

January 31, 2023 Kathy Ceceri

Here’s a project that has:

  • a cute way to upcycle Valentine’s boxes

  • a simple paper circuit that teaches you how electricity travels from a battery to a ring of lights

  • an Infinity Mirror optical illusion of an endless lighted tunnel

  • a hidden compartment to hid the Valentine’s chocolates (or whatever treasure you want to store).

That’s a lot to pack into one fun holiday craft!

My tutorial on the Adafruit Electronics website has several different versions, from basic lights to patterns you can program yourself. If you’re just getting started with paper circuits, start with the Chibitronics Circuit Stickers version. It’s quick and easy and looks amazing.

Have fun!
