Create a flashing electronic leather band in under 10 minutes.	3gp wmv

Ingredients: one mimeolight some conductive thread one 3-volt battery leather strip paper clip

Circuit overview Thread #1 connects the plus of your mimeolight to the battery's positive side, and Thread #2 connects the minus.

When you put on the strap with the battery between the two sections of thread, the circuit is completed and energy flows from the battery to the mimeolight.		Schematic

Mimeolight to plus Sew some stitches through the plus hole on the mimeolight, then work towards one end of the strap. Finish off with several wide stitches at the tip to form the plus of your "battery holder." Tie a knot and cut.


Mimeolight to minus With a new section of thread, make several stitches through the minus hole of the mimeolight, and then work towards the other end of the strap. Keep in mind that since the plus of your battery holder ended up on the rough side, you should now end up on the opposite, smooth side.
Make sure to leave a gap between the last run and the stitches for the battery. This will prevent the conductive sections from shorting when the strap is closed.


Place your battery, and close the strap. We used a paper clip to hold our battery tight. We're sure you'll have a much more elegant solution :-)
