Light-Up Sneaker Flair - Wings

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 outer wing shape.

Glue the outer wing shape to a contrasting piece of cardstock, and cut along the outer edge.

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

Use a hole punch to punch them out.

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

Align the project with the circuit diagram.

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.

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.

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

Walk around and show off your new shoe bling!
