Soft-circuit LED Bracelet

Step 7 Attach the LEDs...and you are done!

Gather up your LED-beads and lay them out between your sewn lines (the power ends facing the power line). Take a bit of conductive thread and sew each end of the LED loops to each 'power' and 'ground' line (making sure not to let any of the thread cross between the two LED loops and short circuit your bracelet). Trim all the ends of the thread as close as you can to the knots.

When you are done sewing, use your scissors to cut holes for the LEDs to poke through your top fabric (we chose fabric with eyelets so the work was already done). Once the LEDs are placed to your liking, put your battery in the battery holder, connect the fasteners, and test it out! If all is well, sew the top fabric to the bottom fabric.

And you are done! Wear your bracelet out and about and have fun. There are a ton of different variations you can make on the pattern, so experiment with different styles of fabrics and LEDs and maybe even make one to match your outfit...

Some troubleshooting tips if things aren't lighting up:
*Check the battery to see if it is dead.
*Check your sewn connections to the LEDs to be sure you are making good contact with the power/ground lines to the LED loops.
*Check each LED to see if it is burnt out using alligator clips attaching the leads to a battery.
