🎄 Build a Festive Blinking PCB Christmas Tree – Learn SMD Soldering This Holiday Season!

Assembled PCB Christmas Tree with blinking red LEDs

Bring some electronic cheer to your holidays!

The SMD PCB Christmas Tree Kit with ATtiny13 and 74HC595 Shift Register is the perfect hands-on project for beginners, hobbyists, and makers who want to learn surface-mount (SMD) soldering while creating a glowing holiday decoration.
This fun and educational DIY electronic soldering kit lets you build a blinking LED Christmas tree ornament powered by a pre-programmed microcontroller. Once assembled, the red LEDs light up and flash in festive patterns, adding a bit of magic to your desk, Christmas tree, or even your car mirror!

What You’ll Build

This kit features a tree-shaped printed circuit board (PCB) that lights up with 8 red surface-mount LEDs arranged beautifully to resemble a Christmas tree.
A pre-programmed ATtiny13 microcontroller controls the LED patterns with the help of a 74HC595 shift register, giving you smooth and sequential light animations.
Simply solder the components, insert the CR2032 coin battery, and flip the switch to watch your creation come to life!
