Glow Beadwork Kit

Craft & Design

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

Artist Laura Cesari has created an awesome Glow Beadwork Kit that combines beginning-level beadwork with an intro to sewing soft circuits with conductive thread. Just follow step-by-step instructions to create a glowing beaded bracelet or necklace, or an illuminated patch to sew on your clothing. There is no soldering required and the only tool not included in the kit is scissors. Light it up!
