Light-Up Baseball Hats: Crown

Print out the template and gather these supplies:

Baseball Hat

Maker Tape

10mm LEDs (2)

CR2032 Battery

Hook and Loop Dots (2)

Use scissors or an X-Acto knife to cut the template shapes out of felt as shown.

Then, hot glue the shapes together.

Use a push pin to make two holes for the LED's legs. When the push pin is inside the felt, rotate it around a bit to make the hole larger and easier to see.

Follow the circuit diagram on the template, starting with the piece on the bottom.

Make a loop of Maker Tape with the adhesive side out and place it on the negative side of the battery.

Place the battery on top of the Maker Tape as shown, and add the "V" shaped piece on top.

Insert each LED through the holes with the longer, positive leg in the top hole.

Fold each LED leg down flat against the felt, making sure the longer, positive legs touch the "V" and the shorter, negative legs touch the horizontal piece.

Place a piece of Maker Tape on top of each leg to make a secure connection.

The LEDs should light up!

Peel the paper backing off of each hook and loop dot and place it where shown on the template.

Then, peel the paper backing off of the other side and stick the design to the hat.

Carefully peel the hook and loop apart and squeeze each dot separately to set the adhesive.

Put it on and let everyone admire your new fashion accessory.

To turn off the LEDs, disconnect the battery by pulling apart the connection as shown.

Store it in a way that prevents it from connecting.
