Using LED “rope” in a handbag concept #NeoPixels #Wearables

@[email protected] recently found a new form factor of diffused LED string on AliExpress.

It looks like a rope, is 15mm in diameter, quite sturdy and moderately flexible. There is a silicone diffusion layer around the LED string surrounded by a woven rope-like sheath. I wanted to try to work it into a wearable, even though it’s a bit thick for clothing, so I’m sewing a bag which uses this string as piping and a strap.

See her progress using this form of smart, colorful LEDs in the Mastodon thread here.
