Stitch it up
Put the inverter pack in your hoodie’s pocket and poke a small hole on the inside for a wire to come through.
Plug in the EL wire and stitch it to the hoodie along the inside of the zipper with a whip stitch. This way you can adjust how much shows by adjusting your zipper.

Wear it!
Enjoy your new hoodie! It's glowy enough for Halloween or Burning Man but subtle enough for everyday. Show us yours in the forums or on our weekly show and tell on Google+!
To make your hoodie extra fancy, use our flowing effect EL wire or swap out your inverter for a sound-activated one so your hoodie thumps to the music.
