Build Your Own Flashing LED Christmas Wreath – Learn to Solder Holiday Kit

Learn to solder PCB wreath kit with blinking LEDs – fun holiday electronics project

Looking for a festive way to learn soldering this season? 🎄 The Flashing LED Wreath Learn to Solder Kit is the perfect blend of fun, education, and holiday cheer! Designed for beginners, students, and hobbyists, this DIY PCB wreath lights up with glowing red LEDs and cycles through multiple lighting patterns—all powered by a tiny microcontroller.

What’s Inside the Kit

This kit includes everything you need to build a mini electronic wreath that flashes in beautiful patterns:

  • 5× 3mm LEDs – bright red for that classic Christmas look
  • 1× ATtiny13 microcontroller – pre-programmed to control the LED patterns
  • 5× resistors – for current control
  • 1× capacitor – for stable power operation
  • 1× power switch – to easily turn your wreath on and off
  • 2× 1.5V battery holders – includes LR44 batteries
  • Printed assembly instructions – beginner-friendly and easy to follow

All parts are through-hole components, making this kit an excellent introduction to soldering for all ages.

Technical Details

  • PCB size: 60 mm diameter
  • PCB thickness: 1.6 mm
  • Power supply: 3V (2× LR44 coin batteries)
  • Microcontroller: ATtiny13 with pre-loaded lighting sequences

How It Works

Once assembled and powered on, the ATtiny13 microcontroller takes care of the magic. It automatically cycles through several LED flashing patterns, bringing your wreath to life with twinkling red lights. You can hang it on your Christmas tree, pin it to your notice board, or use it as a glowing gift tag!

Why You’ll Love This Project

  • Educational: Learn about LEDs, resistors, capacitors, and microcontrollers.
  • Festive: Celebrate the season with a handmade decoration.
  • Beginner-friendly: Soldering through-hole parts is a perfect first step into electronics.
  • Gift-worthy: Build it and share the holiday spirit with friends and family.

Assembly Tips for Beginners

If this is your first soldering project, here are a few tips to help you along the way:

  1. Check the polarity of your LEDs before soldering. The longer leg is positive (anode), and the shorter one is negative (cathode).
  2. Start with the smallest components first, such as resistors and the capacitor.
  3. Use a clean, tinned soldering iron tip for smooth joints.
  4. Trim excess leads with side cutters after soldering.
  5. Inspect your work for solder bridges or cold joints before inserting batteries.

Perfect for:

  • School STEM programs
  • Maker clubs and electronics classes
  • DIY hobbyists
  • Holiday workshops or group builds
  • Bring learning and creativity together this Christmas—one LED at a time!
