Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.02,0:00:16.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,About 2 weeks ago, Jacky Owen sent me this\Npicture of these LED light-up shoes, and challenged
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.05,0:00:20.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me to recreate them. And at first, I was totally\Nskeptical - I thought that you would need
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.68,0:00:25.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a degree in electrical engineering or at least\Nsome basic knowledge of how electronics work

Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.64,0:00:33.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then came up with a way of making light\Nup shoes that doesn’t require any knowledge
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.34,0:00:38.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of electronics, that should actually be really\Neasy…? I think? I mean - I don't want to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.65,0:00:42.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk too soon, because I haven't tried it\Nout yet, but I think these are going to work
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.80,0:00:44.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really well. So - let's begin!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.60,0:00:47.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started out by getting myself a pair of\Nshoes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.05,0:00:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I didn’t own any shoes that were appropriate\Nfor this project, but I found these for $10

Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.71,0:00:59.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For this project, I chose shoes that are hi-tops\Nand have a large tongue.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.24,0:01:02.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first thing I did was to measure around\Nthe circumference of the shoes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.47,0:01:07.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This came out at 25 and a half inches, or\N65 centimeters, so the lights I get will need
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.54,0:01:08.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be at least this long.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.72,0:01:12.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next thing I did was to find myself some\N"LED strip lights".
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.63,0:01:16.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These are strips of lights with adhesive backing\Nthat you’re actually, apparently, able to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.40,0:01:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cut up.\NBecause I don’t really understand how electronics
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.50,0:01:23.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work, I made sure to get a set that already\Nhad a battery box attached, so I wouldn't
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.21,0:01:27.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have to do any connecting of wires.\NThe strip lights are also waterproof, which
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.37,0:01:31.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I figured would be a good idea seeing as I\Nwant to put them onto shoes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.01,0:01:36.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the lights came in either 50, 100\Nor 150 cm, and the circumference of my shoes
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.50,0:01:42.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is 65cm, I chose the 100cm lights. And I got\Ntwo sets, because I have two shoes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.29,0:01:46.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when the lights arrived, I checked that\Nthey worked – each set required 3 double A batteries.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.90,0:01:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Awesome!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.00,0:01:54.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They also came with this clicker to let me\Nchange modes and colours.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.61,0:01:58.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now I just have to figure out the best\Nway of getting all of this onto these shoes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.95,0:02:02.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the first thing I needed to do was cut\Nthe lights down to the right size.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.23,0:02:05.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I looked this up in HEAPS of places whether\Nor not you could cut these, and all the websites
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.71,0:02:10.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found said yes, you can, but – I’m still\Nterrified about cutting through something with wires in it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.00,0:02:12.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So… here goes nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.04,0:02:20.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh thank goodness, they didn’t explode.\NBut do they still work??
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.74,0:02:21.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,YESSSSS.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.93,0:02:28.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ALRIGHT! So, on the inside of the shoe, I’m\Ngoing to super glue the clicker down.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.96,0:02:32.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I basically just put a bit of super glue\Non the back, and I held it down onto the shoe
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.52,0:02:35.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a couple of minutes.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.33,0:02:40.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the strip lights also have this adhesive\Non the back – I just have to peel the backing
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.86,0:02:43.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,paper off first.\NI connect the lights back up to the clicker,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.44,0:02:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and using both the adhesive on the back of\Nthe lights, AND some super glue to make SUPER
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.12,0:02:52.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure that they’ll stay on, I attach the\Nlights all the way around the base of the shoe.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.72,0:02:59.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And once that’s done, I need to figure out\Nwhat to do with this battery pack.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.32,0:03:02.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thread it up into the shoe like this, and\NI think that I’m going to make a pouch for
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.96,0:03:05.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the battery pack on the inside of shoe’s\Ntongue.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.44,0:03:08.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I grab myself some fabric that’s similar\Nto what the shoe is made out of – this is
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.64,0:03:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just some scrap PVC fabric that I had lying\Naround.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.18,0:03:15.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I draw a rectangle around my battery pack,\Nwith about an extra inch on each side and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.98,0:03:19.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cut this out.\NNow I also don’t want the battery pack to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.09,0:03:22.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be uncomfortable while I’m wearing the shoes,\Nso I’m going to put some batting into the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.46,0:03:26.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inside of the pouch. I used some fabric glue\Nto stick some folded-up batting onto the back
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.89,0:03:29.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the PVC material.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.05,0:03:33.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I place this bit of fabric onto the inside\Nof the shoe’s tongue. I use to needle and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.81,0:03:38.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thread to sew it on down the sides like this,\Nand then after making sure that the battery
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.65,0:03:43.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually fits inside, I sew the bottom of\Nthe pouch down like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.54,0:03:47.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And while sewing, I made sure not to stick\Nmy needle all the way through the whole shoe
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.43,0:03:51.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tongue – just through this inside layer\Nof fabric, because I don’t want the stitches
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.57,0:03:53.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be visible from the outside of the shoe.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.30,0:04:07.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then make a little closing for the pouch\Nwith another small rectangle of PVC – which
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.46,0:04:14.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I attach like this.\NAnd then I glue on some Velcro strips so that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.65,0:04:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the pouch can open and close like this.\NNow, I just need to make this wire here a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.36,0:04:25.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little bit less visible.\NSo basically what I do is to cut out another
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.72,0:04:31.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,strip of black PVC, wrap it around the wire,\Nand glue it down onto the shoe, again using
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.32,0:04:33.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my good friend superglue.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.89,0:04:37.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So – do the shoes work?
