Circuit stickers are a new medium for making electronics. These thin, lightweight, flexible and sticky circuit boards allow us to craft electronic interactivity onto new spaces and interfaces such as books, clothing, walls, and even our bodies.

Circuit stickers are created by adding z-axis tape, an anisotropic conductive adhesive, to kapton-based flexible PCBs. Below are example circuits created using a wide variety of conductive materials as connective traces.


Conductive fabric


Conductive thread


Carbon-based conductive paint


Copper tape (included in the starter kit)


Pencil graphite


Aluminum foil


Wire and solder

The following are some prototypes from our development process:
