Super Brite LED Sneakers 1.0

Step 2Make Strips

Make Strips
Measure sneaker
Measure the circumference of your sneaker.  Add 6 inches to that figure and cut two strips of Sticky Back Velcro to length.  Put aside the "loop" side of the velcro for now.

Cover with electrical tape
Cover the sticky side of the "fuzzy" velcro strip with electrical tape.  Remove the backing from the fuzzy piece of velcro (it's very sticky!).  Carefully attach electrical tape (sticky side to sticky side) to the velcro.  This is going to be the exterior backing for the LEDs so make it look smooth.  Do it slowly so you don't make any wrinkles.  I used long strips and overlapped them to cover the entire area.  Trim off any excess with a scissors.
