LED-Embedded Costumes: Sew or glue small LED strips into costumes, like tutus or bodysuits. You can outline shapes, patterns, or even add glowing elements to mimic creatures or spooky designs.
Glow-in-the-Dark Fabric: Use glow-in-the-dark fabric paint or tape to create designs that will charge in the light and glow in the dark.
Light-Up Accessories: Incorporate accessories like hats, masks, or wings with built-in LEDs. For example, fairy wings with lights can create a magical effect.
LED Shoes: Look for LED shoes or add LED strips to your dance shoes. This can make footwork really pop on stage.

Materials Needed
LED Strip Lights: Waterproof strips are great for costumes, and some come with adhesive backs for easy application.
