DIY wearables are inherently prone to mishaps and repairs, so when you're packing your bag for Maker Faire, Burning Man, or just an all-night party, consider packing some of these things to keep your project excellent the whole way through:

• extra batteries
• alligator clips (normal, short, or both)
• multimeter
• spare parts - whatever components comprise your design
• small scissors
• safety pins
• heat shrink tubing & lighter
• needle and thread
• pliers
• flush snips
• wire strippers

To organize your repair kit you may find these useful:

• bi-fold compartment parts box
• small modular snap boxes
• medium modular snap boxes
• large modular snap boxes
