Tron: Legacy was a decent movie, but what I was really wowed by were the luminescent costumes. I’ve been playing around with light-up clothing ideas ever since, and the simplest idea uses electroluminescent (EL) tape and some velcro to approximate Jeff Bridges’ glowing druid look from the film. It’s not remotely screen-accurate (for you purists out there), but it is a great way to wow your friends during a night out.

Step #1: Sew velcro to hood.
Cut a length of velcro equal to the length of the EL tape and hand or machine stitch the soft side onto the inside of the hood near the edge. You may want to remove the drawstring first.
