Electronic Bracelet By: giamaria COSTANZo

What I used

To make this bracelet I needed to use a variety of different material, for example:

Felt

Conductive tread

Battery holder

Two LED lights

Battery

Iron for the iron on felt

Snaps

Original Design

For my first design I decided to add a light to a pice of felt in a shape of a flower. How to make the light actually work I needed to connect it to the batter. First I got a batter holder and placed it on my bracelet, then on the positive hole of the LED light I sewed it down with conductive tread and sewed a running stitch to the positive hole of the batter holder. Then I did the same thing for the second hole except I connected the negative hole of the LED light to the negative hole of the batter. This aloud the LED light to light up, if I would of connect the positive hole of the light to the negative hole of the batter holder nothing would have happened.

Modified Design

After I succeeded in attaching my first light I decided to make a modified design which consist of adding a second LED light. I decided to cut a piece of felt in a shape of a heart and ironed it on. Once it was in place I could add my second LED Light. I had two options I could of sewed the light to the batter holder like I did for the first one but if I were to do that I could possible intertwine the positive stitch with the negative and it would lead to both lights not working. The other option that I had and that I chose was to connect the two LED light together. How I did that was by sewing the positive hole of my second LED light to the positive hole of my first LED light . Then I sewed the negative hole of the second LED light to the negative hole on my first LED light. This aloud both lights to light up together.

Possible Errors

One of the errors I ran into was that I sewed my positive hole of my first light to the negative hole of my batter holder and because of this it did not light up, so I had to take the stitch out and re do it which was a pain.

Tips

Some tips are to stay neat with you running stitch because if your positive stitch touches your negative one the lights will not turn on. I also found it helpful to use felt that can iron on for your design, there will be less sewing involve and less thread making it a little confusing.
