[All Knowledge Is Contained In LJ]
So Alex wants to be a robot for Halloween this year. The basic frame for her costume is a plastic storage bin about the size of her torso, with holes cut in it for her arms, head, and body. We're planning to spraypaint it "brushed aluminum metallic," painting a shirt and leggings to match for the rest of the robot body.
To decorate the robot torso, I'm mostly just going to print pictures of dials and readouts on photo paper and glue them on.
But we'd also love to have some sparkly lights on her costume. So here's my question, LJ: is there such a thing as small stick-on LEDs, ideally self-powered (although if we need to drill a hole for a battery pack, we can), which could be used to decorate a costume? If so, where would you find such things?
Searching is mostly coming up with strings of Christmas lights, or else those little round lights that you stick up in closets and press to turn on.
