You have the power to light up the world!
Learn how to build a closed circuit, then add it to a wrist band that lights up. Once you know how to make this, you can create all sorts of light up accessories together. Electrify your imagination!
Use this kit to learn more about electricity, build different types of circuits, and make more projects that light up the library.
You may also want scissors and a stapler. Supervise children when using coin cell batteries.

Light-Up Bracelets
Cut a piece of felt 1 ½ inches wide and 1-2 inches longer than the circumference of your wrist.
Open the legs of an LED light. Place the light in the middle of the felt band, with the short leg extending towards the left side.
Put a piece of conductive tape over the short LED leg and extending to the edge of the left side of the band.
Tape 2 additional pieces of conductive tape along the left end.
Put a piece of conductive tape from the middle of the right side, around the right edge, and ending 1-2 inches on the back. Reinforce the back end with 2 additional pieces of conductive tape.
Make a small loop of tape and put it on the end of the tape at the middle of the right side. Place the coin cell battery on top.
Put a piece of conductive tape over the long LED leg and over the top of the battery. Make sure that the tape does not touch the other side!
Add velcro to each end of the felt and decorate your bracelet.
Learn how simple circuits work and how to make them so you can troubleshoot your creations.
