Revised Model

In an earlier post, My First Blinged-Out Book, I was thrilled that I had a solid working model, even though I suspected that I might have a power supply problem that needed fixing.  

Today, I revised the cover to add a switch and a LilyPad Tiny Twinkler.  I am most proud of the fact that I was able to get five LEDs to twinkle this time!

(See it in action in the video below).

I lined the front cover with a couple of layers of felt to accommodate the bulk of the battery.
