Bright Wearables: Adding LEDs to Everyday Clothing and Accessories
Maker Faire Bay Area 2019
May 17th-19th
Programmable LEDs add playfulness, variety and visual appeal to clothing and accessories, but designing durable illuminated clothing that looks natural can be a challenge. This talk will cover tricks I've found useful in creating LED wearables including belts, bags, and even a fiber-optic dress.

Debra Ansell (Geek Mom Projects online) first started creating LED clothing and accessories 10 years ago using an Arduino LilyPad and conductive thread, and will not rest until she finds a way to embed programmable LEDs in EVERYTHING. She has created and documented many original wearable projects, some of which have been featured in Make magazine and her blog at www.geekmomprojects.com.
