The process you\u2019ll take to attach LED lights to clothes depends on factors including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, planning the design<\/a> and placement of lights on your clothes is essential before beginning to ensure a smooth integration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, people prefer to sew LED lights onto their clothes using thread and a needle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The advantage of sewing is that the threads are soft and won\u2019t feel uncomfortable on your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, others prefer fabric glue as it is easier to apply. Here are the steps for a successful fabric LED lights project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Begin by designing the shapes and patterns you want to achieve with your LED lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, you may be going to a birthday party and would like the word \u201cHappy birthday\u201d on your fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, you may be going to a technology expo and would prefer to have your brand name on your fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Either way, after designing, transfer your blueprint onto the fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The next step involves marking where you cut holes to feed the LED lights. Remember, The wiring connections of your LED lights run on the inside of your clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, the only visible parts to the rest of the population are the LED lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Multi-color LED string lights)<\/p>\n\n\n\n LED lights have unique lighting characteristics that vary from one brand to another. For example, depending on your preference, you may choose white, RGB, or RGBW LEDs<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, you may opt for lights that change colors depending on specific signals they receive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The signals may be music, clapping hands, or a change in posture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After picking your LED lights, the subsequent process involves cutting the wiring connections<\/a> to match your design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, ensure you cut precisely while leaving a few extra inches on the edges of each light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, if your design is complex, forcing you to cut several sections of the light string, ensure you have a soldering gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason is that you may need to solder some sections together to complete your design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At this stage, attach your LED lights to your fabric using fabric glue or a thread and needle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When using the latter option, you only need to put the LED lights through the small holes you cut earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterward, sew the LED light into position much like you would a button on your shirt or trouser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you opt for the fabric glue, put the LED through the hole and hold it in place using the glue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, as the glue hardens, it can be uncomfortable on the skin, meaning you should attach a small piece of fabric to the LED light’s underside. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDesign Your Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
