Handstitched Light-Up Bracelet

I love working with simple circuits and I love to embed lights into clothing items. This is an easy and fun way to teach basic circuitry. When I teach this class to young children, it's always amazing to see the creations they make! make yours today!

- Felt or other fabric (various colors)

- LEDs

- Needle

- Conductive thread

- Regular thread

- Battery holder

- Alligator clips

- Coin cell battery

- A set of snaps/fasteners

- Scissors

Think about the item you would like to make

• will it be a bracelet? if so, what color will the strap be?
• where would you like your light to show up (over the fabric/under the fabric)?
• will you diffuse your light? if so, with what type of fabric?
• use a piece of paper and sketch out what your bracelet will look like

See second image for some inspiration.
