Step 5Making the battery holder
One major goal is to keep the bracelet thin, so any type of traditional battery holder would be way too thick for us. We use a bit of adhesive-backed liners to make really thin, yet sturdy battery holder.
Peel off the paper backing from the liner. With the sticky side facing up, pass the minus conductive thread through the hole, fold the liner and press it to the leather. Then wind the thread on the adhesive side into a small coil. Place the battery down, minus side down, and press it until you feel it make good contact with the thread. It should stay stuck.
Then, make a slightly larger coil with the plus conductive thread on the small disc, sticky side up.
Press it unto the battery. Push the thread into the tiny notch so it doesn't stick out.
