> 24 hourThese are a good bargain LED to use with conductive thread like that in LilyPad kits. These are not as good as the Lilypad LEDs, but they work well enough. I tend to use a couple extra loops of thread through the holes on these LEDs before continuing the circuit stitching to ensure a good connection to the conductive area and not have any problem lights. I also test each light before using it in a project to avoid headaches.

> 24 hourI bought these to add to a LilyPad kit I purchased. They work great and are a decent price compared to others I looked at. My daughters and I used them to make light up masks.

> 24 hourThese work just fine. I used a few on a glove wearable project and they were super bright.

> 24 hourI was surprised by their small size. It is a good think really because I’m using them for wearable electronics

> 24 hourThese worked (I used them for a STEAM class for elementary school) although I’ll note that some of the colors are more vibrant than others.

> 24 hourHaving these extra colors (and I also ordered extra thread) means I can go further on one costume or make one color lighting string on the costume. Its really cool seeing something I made light up!

> 24 hourI use these to light my LEGO City, and they are fantastic. My wife is using them to illuminate the cards she makes.

> 24 hourIve recently gotten back into electronics. After many years, things sure have changed. I have really gotten into the Arduino because it can do so much. I am also new to lilypad, but love all the things you can do with them. Since the wife is into sewing and crafts, I am sure she will enjoy working with these.

> 24 hourI’ve used these for science activities in my classroom. They work perfectly in paper circuits and etextile projects.
LilyPad LEDs for arduino or raspberry pi
This is a simple pack of five Red/Yellow/White/Blue/Green LilyPad LEDs that are still attached to one another, letting you snap the LEDs apart at your leisure to sew into clothing or whatever else you can dream up.
Sewable electronics combine traditional craft processes (sewing, fashion design, and textile design) with electrical engineering, computer science, and hardware skills.
More effective conductive contact area
Compared to original lilypad LEDs，the effective conductive contact area in lilypad LEDs has double.
Each LilyPad piece was creatively designed with large sew tabs to allow them to be sewn into fabric. Various input, output, power and sensor boards are available.
Tiny sewable electronic pieces for e-textile projects
The LilyPad system is a set of sewable electronic pieces designed to help you build soft, sewable, interactive e-textile projects. Using LilyPad pieces is a great way to experiment with electronics through the lens of crafting. Each LilyPad piece has large conductive sew tabs for easy sewing and a rounded shape so as not to snag fabric or cut thread.
With sewable electronics, you can create e-textiles (electronic textiles), which are often wearable, flexible projects that look less like traditional electronics and more like craft and art projects. Many e-textile projects replace wiring with flexible conductive materials such as conductive thread and fabric. For the projects in this guide, we will be sewing circuits together with conductive thread.
