Speaking of Craft Bingo, here are some photos from Halloween, where I got first place in my workplace's costume contest!



I learned how to solder so I could make myself a custom light-up backpack:

A photo of a thin backpack which has been modified to include purple LED strips in a 3x2 grid form. There are black blocks placed in each of the squares to mimic the shape of Rise Donatello's battleshell. The LEDs are lit up.

A photograph of a pair of silver goggles. One lens is red and one is blue. The blue eyepiece is extended outward about an inch.

A photograph of a hand with black martial arts wrappings going from knuckle to elbow. There is grey paint outlining the edges of the wraps.

Making the battle shell backpack was fun, but definitely a learning experience! It opens up a world of possibilities for future LED projects.

I have to say, most people at my workplace didn’t really understand what I was dressing up as. They got it as soon as I showed them some reference pics :)

That is an amazing project! It's probably the best way to learn, by making something you really want to create, and it's always a learning experience you can carry forward.
That was a well deserved first place win :D
