Low Profile Sugru Battery Holder

This instructable will teach you how to make a low profile coin battery holder.

This battery holder works wonderfully with soft circuits. The Sugru case is low profile, easily sewn into fabric and is soft against skin.

Before you open a pouch of Sugru, be prepared to use it all; Sugru must be used within 30 minutes of exposure to air. Make a couple different sized battery holders, or browse through other Sugru uses on this website.

Step 1: What you need

This is what you will need to make the battery holder:

• small packet of Sugru
• conductive thread
• conductive fabric
• plastic wrap
• coin battery

Great! I need to make these for an outdoor light festival. I have been taping the legs of the LEDs to the positive or negative sides of the batteries and sometimes the connections aren't too good. If I were to poke a hole where you have the conductive thread coming out and insert the legs of the LEDs do you think that the presence of the conductive fabric would make a better connection that would not break free as easily as the gummy tape? Also, where do you find conductive fabric and thread? Do they provide much resistance? Thanks, thanks ,thanks! for this idea.

How well does it grip?

Not extremely well. I think I think one made of Oogoo would grip better.
