Illuminated Mask

Contributors: Gella

Introduction

E-Textiles are a great way to add flair to your clothing and costumes, but crafting on a garment can be a challenge for your first project. Making an accessory is a great way to explore sewing circuits on a smaller scale.

For this project, we’ll be using multiple LEDs in a circuit to create an illuminated mask. Rather than stitching just one LED to the battery holder (as we did in the Glowing Pin project), we’ll use a parallel circuit to connect all of the LEDs to the battery.

Design and build time: 1 - 2 hours

This project is part of the LilyPad Sewable Electronics Kit, take a look at the other projects in the kit:

• Project 1: Glowing Pin
• Project 3: Light-Up Plush
• Project 4: Night-Light Pennant
