Light-Up Sneaker Flair - Burst

Download and Print the Template.

Optional: If you would like to make a shoe that turns on and off as you step using a tilt sensor, download and print the template linked here instead.

Use the template to cut out the burst shape.

Use the template and a push pin to poke holes for the LED legs.

Cut out and poke holes using a second accent color for the center of the burst.

Glue the two pieces together, aligning the holes.

Align the project with the circuit diagram.

Optional: If you would like to make a project that turns on and off as you step, follow the template linked here to add a tilt sensor.

Follow the diagram on the template to build the circuit.

Tip: Make sure the polarity of the LEDs is correct: The long leg is positive and goes through the hole on top!

Flip over the project - the LEDs should light up!

Is it not working? Check for a short circuit or loose connection.

Repeat the previous steps to make a second burst for the other shoe.

Hold the project up to the shoes and mark the hole locations.

Unlace the shoes, then lace the shoes back up through the holes.

Walk around and show off your new shoe bling!
