By combining technology and craft you can be — literally — the flashiest dresser around. This introductory DIY book shows how to use "smart" materials, unorthodox assembly techniques and the right tools to create accessories, housewares and toys that light up, make sounds, and more.
Learn how to blend sewing and assembly techniques with traditional electronics to make simple circuits using conductive thread, solder joints for snaps and switches for buttons. Explore how to use thermo- and photo chromatic inks that change color by touch or sunlight, magnetic and conductive paints, polymorph plastic and fiber optics.

- A wide range of projects, including electronic accessories, interactive plush toys, and color-changing blinds, all using diverse crafting techniques
