Albert’s Electric Winter Glove

by mrching

Within a week of buying a pair of winter gloves from the Gap, I lost the left glove and was so devastated that I set out to buy an identical second pair.  When this project came up, I was eager to transform my sad left glove into an electrified lighted circuit.  The idea was to light up an LED with different hand gestures, something I never thought I’d be able to do in my lifetime.

Since this was my first time really sewing and making a circuit, I didn’t expect the project to work at all.  To my surprise, it did!
