RGB LED Brooch

Step 6Sewing the LED

Sewing the LED
1. First of all mark with a short piece of thread the cathode leg of the LED. (It's the longest leg)
2, Use the needle nose pliers to bend all the four legs in sort of little circles (see picture).
3. Use conductive thread to sew the cathode leg in the middle of the last remaining fabric square.
Without cutting the conductive thread sew a male snap in the middle of the back side of that square.
4. Spread the other 3 RGB legs facing each one different corner of the square.
5. Sew with the conductive thread each of the legs to the square and the make a few other stitches to get closer to the corner. Without cutting the conductive thread sew a male snap at the corner on the back.
6. Do cut the conductive thread each time when you sewing another LED leg and it's male snap.
7. At the back of the remaining forth corner, sew with a regular thread a male snap, not connected to any of the LED's legs.
8. Use the multimeter to check the conductivity between each LED and the male snap that attached to it.
10. Now take the last square of fabric with the glued flower on it and sew it to the LED square. (see picture).
