Massage Shrug
I created a massage shrug, embedding vibrating motors (the kind found in cell phones) into the inside of the shrug (where the shoulderblades would be). The switch is the entire organza shawl that is attached to the shrug.
The switch here is on.
The switch here is off. You can see the conductive threads attached to the motors sticking out the back. When these make contact with the organza (which is connected to the (-) of the battery), the circuit closes and the motors vibrate, giving you a gentle massage.
To make the organza conduct not only lengthwise, but also crosswise, I sewed a narrow strip of conductive fabric perpendicular to the conductive fibers of the organza.
