Light-Up Sneaker Flair - Fire

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.

*Tip: In this tutorial, we used glitter cardstock, but you could also print the template on white cardstock and color it in instead.

Staple the template to glitter cardstock or another craft material of your choice. (Felt, craft foam, and fancy papers all work well).

Cut out the fire shape as shown.

Glue the flame to another color of material and cut it out.

Repeat with the second flame, and label each to remember which is which.

Hold the project up to your shoe and mark the hole locations with a marker.

Use a hole punch to punch them out.

Use a push pin to poke holes for the LED legs to push through as shown.

Follow the circuit diagram to add lights.

Add the pieces in this order:

The negative piece of Maker Tape

The battery (with a Maker Tape loop)

The positive piece of Maker Tape

(Then fold the LED legs down) And add a piece of Maker Tape on top of each

Repeat on the other side.

If you plan to add the tilt switch, follow the circuit diagram on that template.

Make sure all of the LEDs are lighting up.

Then, lace-up the shoes.

Walk around and show off your new shoe bling!
