How to make a cool cyberpunk top using keyboard bits

Step 5 All done!

Now put this over you lighter layer and you have a cool top, ready to go out and confuse the locals with . Looking back i think i would have stuck to doing just one panel more at chest/normal tshirt level for best effect but if anything i'm always a bit ambitious.

Other ideas to try might include painting the circuits or the back side of the plastic with uv reactive paint (or wearing a uv top underneath) for extra raver glow when in the clubs or even wiring circuits using the contacts as a base. (yeah i suppose you could keep all the original wiring intact and sew the entire 3 layers of circuit as one panel to have a fully functional keyboard in your chest bt kids these day will do anything for a bit of touch :p) Any feedback/ideas would be awesome. Grin!

This is a pretty cool idea! I'll have to try it. Any idea of how it holds up in the wash?

 As step four suggests, I would seam the "window" of the outer t-shirt and stitch a backing sheet in place (instead of an inner t-shirt). That way the membrane can be fitted into the window, held in place by the seams and perhaps our good friend Mr Velcro meaning it could be removed when it came wash time.

Did the night out include similarly themed jewelry?
