Step 2Choosing your Design and Planning the Circuit

Choosing your Design and Planning the Circuit
Take your favourtie image, tranfer it to paper via what ever means you choose to do so.
I have chosen to free hand tranfer. I would assume printing your design would be easiest.

Once you have chosen your design, plot the applicable path for your circuit. This will depend on what elements you wish to add to your circuit. In this demonstration I have chosen the Instructables Robot as its segmented body, allows for a simple circuit layout. It also offers the availablity for expansion in the future. See his wheels? Endless possibilities.

Your circuits maybe as simple or as complex as you wish.

I have chosen a simple circuit, comprising of three LeD's and a switch (described in Step 8).

The power source will be a 9V battery. It will be connected to a + and - fabric tab to join the circuit.

Once you have an idea of your circuit, trafnser it to your fabric/shirt. This can be done via lead transfer or copying the image through the fabric. Once you have tranfered the image/circuit to the fabric, move onto the sewing stage.
