Creating a Yarn Bomb with LED lights

This is my fifth yarn bomb and first with LED lighting .. I am including instructions on how to create the lighting effect.

 Back of where the flowers will be placed on Knitted strip... some of the ingredients.. Conductive Thread, LED's with leads bent, battery holder, coin cell battery.

 Crochet flowers sewn onto knitted strip

 Small piece of muslin sewn to back.. because sewing onto loose weave knitting sucks..

(there are two lights on one battery holder) Once the muslin is in place sew with conductive thread from the positive lead on one LED to the positive on the battery holder and then to the other positive lead on the second LED. Repeat same process for Negative leads and battery holder.

 Place battery in holder.. the "on and off" is just taking the battery out.. no need for a switch in this case for what I am doing with this... but a switch would be easy to add

 And they light up! To make the LED's easier to sew I bend the positive leads in a square pattern and the negative in a spiral.. then they don't get mixed up..(see the first picture and look closely at the LED's unattached)

 Lights in the dark...

 All six flowers lit up...
