Printed a copy of a tree design I created in Illustrator to use as a pattern to bend the wire

Goals

-Use on of my tree sketches to create a holiday tree that is safe for kids to decorate with lights

-Enhance the experience by eliminating the frustration and danger of traditional light strings

-Add joy to a room with the finished product

 

 

 

After getting the first few wires shaped I ran testing the first part of the circuit with an external power source and an RGB cycling LED.

Had to learn how to do some basic soldering for this project to make the wire connections to complete the circuit.

 

Assembly processes.  In order to have a minimalist design, I ran wires in front and behind with a gap in the circuit that will be bridged by each LED.  Gluing small high power magnets to the back make a nice attachment for the lights.
