Wearable Electronics with Becky Stern 11/26/2014 – LIVE 2pm ET
Join Becky Stern and friends every week as we delve into the wonderful world of wearables, live on YouTube. We’ll answer your questions, announce a discount code for the Adafruit store, and explore wearable components, techniques, special materials, tools, and projects you can build at home! Ask your wearables questions in the comments, and if your question is featured on a future episode, you’ll be entered to win the show giveaway!
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!

Could you please talk about how you would use conductive ribbon?
We have a black dog and since it gets dark so early this time of year want to make her a ‘necklace’ (would be in addition to her normal collar) with NeoPixels so we can see her in the yard more easily.
My plan is to attach the ribbon to a fabric collar and using conductive thread to pierce the strands in the ribbon to attach the NeoPixels.
Would you consider this a good way to use the ribbon? The first one I did was using lines of conductive thread down the fabric. But I’m hoping for a quicker method for my next try. And it is the holiday season. Decorate the dog!

Maybe you can answer it next time…
