LED Booties

Kidoodles: Magical Firefly Booties

August 6, 2008

Many of my childhood Summer vacations were spent in the South where fireflies lit up the night sky. I have a soft spot in my heart for the light-emitting bugs, which explains why I am swooning over this pair of hand-crafted LED booties. Made with denim, elastic, a battery, and light, the supplies are simple but the handiwork is impressive.

Winners of Craft's Michael Miller Baby Bootie Contest, husband and wife team Ana Pires and João Silva took the top prize. To see how to make these illuminating booties, click here.

I would love this for my little one, but I'm hopelessly untalented when it comes to sewing.

I caught a firefly and tried to get my 16 month old son interested in it, but he could not care less. :(The booties are SOOOOOOOO cute!!!

They were hovering above the wheat fields.I do not see them in California, so it was a very welcome sight and I miss everything New York.The booties are so cute!
