This post falls into the category of ideas that have been around a while but are new to me. I recently stumbled across an old (but still useful) tutorial on Juniper’s Hunter about using a bra for the basis of a breastplate. The breastplate was part of a valkyrie costume she made for Halloween in 2012 and she built the entire thing around a bra coated in epoxy. This tutorial inspired her:
She used a full coverage bra that was a size up from what she normally wears and coated it in clear casting epoxy. She attached white craft foam to the sides of the cups with hot glue and sketched a pattern right onto the top of the bra. She used paper clay to sculpt the pattern directly on top of the bra and craft foam (she also added craft foam to the bottom) and then painted everything with two coats of pewter finish Sophisticated Finishes.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
