This project is a Minecraft creeper bookmark. I chose the creeper design because I like Minecraft (it’s one of my favorite games). I am proud of this bookmark, because it’s the first e-textile circuit I made that ever worked. The other designs (An Among Us Crewmate & a planet) were not chosen. That is because they were more complicated, with more measurements. Both also had round edges, which is harder to cut out compared to sharp edges.

This is my process of creating the bookmark (with images):

1. Develop and plan
For this stage, I designed the ideas and created the prototype after one plan was approved.

Here are some photos of my prototype:

2. Create and improve:

In this stage, I created the bookmark itself.

I learned a lot while working on this project. I learned the reason for my previous practice circuits to not work: I used one thread throughout the entire circuit. I used one thread for the positive path and one for the negative this time, and it worked. I also realized that I need to use normal thread to tie the other 2 tabs. That ways, the battery holder doesn’t flop around or fall off. For me, the first tab was really hard to tie the thread on to, because the battery holder was not already secure. I managed to do it after after a while though. Another thing that was really hard was the planning process. I spent too much time drawing the scale drawings, which ate away one class that was meant for creating the prototype. Here are my plans:This is the plan for the Creeper bookmark. It was approved.

This is a plan for a planet pin.
This is a plan for an Among Us Crewmate.
