It’s finally here! The run-up to Xmas and cosy crafts to warm up our cold winter evenings!
I have put together a special festive kit to represent fun, joy and home, while teaching electronics and crafting skills.
This xmas tree contains a special circuit with 5 LEDs, lit up with 3 different effects, using a logic controller chip (no programming will be required!)
The instructions for this kit will be provided on youtube and it can be constructed in several sessions at your own pace.
There is plenty of room to customise your tree, using embroidery effects, fancy string and 6 squares of felt to make decorations!
Each kit is unique because of the variety of designs you can make with additional felt, different colours of thread and variation in bells and beads.
This kit can be purchased on Etsy.
