Valentines Day Open heart brooch is creatively beautiful

This Valentine’s Day, why not gift your loved one something unique and creative? And the best option to satisfy your unique and creative requirements is the Open Heart Brooch by Becky Stern. Combining DIY projects- the LilyPad Arduino and the ‘Open Heart’ DIY project from Jimmie Rogers, Becky created this amazing Valentine Brooch.

The Open Heart kit is available via the MakerShed as well as the LilyPad Arduino. Becky describes in her Instructables how to sandwich the LilyPad and the Open Heart together and connect it to a LilyPad power module.
