led throwies

Thanks for coming out to the Bizarre Market. Here are instructions and resources for making your own LED Throwies orginally created by Graffiti Research Labs. The idea behind throwies is to create a visual statement without defacing property.

How to make throwies (via Instructables)
LED Throwies at Wikipedia

Where to get supplies
1. 10mm Diffused LED
eBay is the best place I’ve found. Most likely they will be coming from China so it takes 2-3 weeks for them to get over seas. Search for 10mm Diffused LED

2. CR2032 3V Lithium Batteries
I bought mine from CheapBatteries.com at about $0.25 per battery. You can pretty much get these from anywhere batteries are sold. Try Batteries Plus on the Southside.

3. Tape
1-inch wide Strapping Tape is recommended. I just used duct tape and it worked fine. You can get both of these from the hardware store.

4. 1/2″ Dia x 1/8″ Thick NdFeB Disc Magnet, Ni-Cu-Ni plated
I bought mine from Amazing Magnets at about $13.00 for 25 magnets. You can use any type of magnets you want, they just may not be as strong as the rare earth magnets I used.

Environmental Statement
Assemble Lounge cares about the environment so we ask that after you are done with your throwies that you dispose of the parts in an eco friendly way. The batteries used in this project are can leak over time and be harmful to the environment.

+ Recycle batteries at Batteries Plus (904) 620-9992
+ Reuse magnets on your fridge
+ Save the LED lights for your next christmas tree
