How to make sewable electronic sequins from thru hole LEDs, resistors, and other computer parts to craft eTextiles, soft circuits, and wearable computing projects.   How to Make LED Sequins –  English Transcript PDF    

    How to hand sew electronics, LEDs, and computer parts to fabric when crafting DIY eTextiles, soft circuits, and wearable computing projects. Do loop the conductive thread around the hardware connection multiple times, but for speed and ease don’t sew thru all the layers of the fabric.    

Tips and tricks on how to hand sew LED sequins and pre-fabricated surface mount LED boards, such as Aniomagic’s Sparkle LED’s, to fabric to create eTextile, soft circuit, and wearable computing DIY projects. When sewing electronic hardware use a conductive thread with a small diameter and a small gauge needle. This combination will allow you to feed the conductive thread […]
