Tilt Sensing Illuminated Tunnel Book (Featuring Chibitronics) by Jill Dawson

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to use Circuit Sticker LEDs and a tilt switch/sensor to add lighting and interactive effects to create an Illuminated Tunnel Book.

Designed to create a sense of depth, perspective, and wonder, tunnel books are often engineered by layering decoratively cut paper panels between folded paper hinges, allowing them to move in and out like the bellows of an accordion. When combined with paper circuitry, adding light effects and sensors, a tunnel book can become a highly engaging STEAM project, as well as a useful tool of self-expression.
