Emergency Button-battery Clip
Ever have one of those days when you get a circuit together on your breadboard and realize the only battery you have is a button battery and no battery holder? So you break out your tape and start taping the wire to the battery. Make an emergency battery clip instead!
Materials:
Plastic clips (I got mine at the dollar store)
Wire (Thick enough so it stays in place when bent. I'm using 22 guage)
Drill
Glue gun
Drill the Holes
First you want to drill two holes in the clip. One on each side.
Add the Wire
Run the wire through the holes and bend it up. Allow clip to close to hold it in place.
Glue It
Now apply hot glue to the inside and outside of the clip so the wire stays in place.
Test It
Now test it with a button cell battery.
