# LED Friendship Bracelet ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNTfNAejibQ Light up those warm nights at the beach or summer camp with this simple soft circuit bracelet. We were inspired by [Etsy's nautical knot bracelet tutorial](https://blog.etsy.com/en/2014/diy-nautical-knot-bracelets/) and when we read the word "rhinestones" we immediately substituted LEDs. Read on to stitch up your own illuminated friendship bracelet!
