Abstract
There is described a gift wrapping apparatus having a sheet of material being foldable by hand, a plurality of light emitting elements made integral to the sheet, the plurality of light emitting elements having power receiving conductors, and a plurality of conductive traces made integral to the sheet and forming a powering circuit connecting the power receiving conductors of the light emitting elements to at least a positive terminal and a negative terminal.
Claims20
A gift wrapping apparatus comprising:
- a sheet of material being foldable by hand;
- a plurality of light emitting elements made integral to the sheet, the plurality of light emitting elements having power receiving conductors;
- and
- a plurality of conductive traces made integral to the sheet and forming a powering circuit connecting the power receiving conductors of the light emitting elements to at least a positive terminal and a negative terminal.
A method of using a gift wrapping apparatus having a sheet of material being foldable by hand, a plurality of light emitting elements made integral to the sheet, and a powering circuit allowing powering the plurality of light emitting elements, the method comprising:
- wrapping a gift with the gift wrapping apparatus;
- and
- powering the powering circuit thereby turning on at least some of the plurality of light emitting elements.
A method of fabricating a gift wrapping apparatus, the method comprising:
- printing a plurality of light emitting elements onto a sheet of material being foldable by hand, the plurality of light emitting elements having power receiving conductors;
- printing a plurality of conductive traces so as to form a powering circuit connecting the power receiving conductors of the plurality of light emitting elements to at least a positive terminal and a negative terminal.
