So I’m going to an evening event which requires clear concert bags if you wanted to bring one. The max size is 12"x12"x6".

If I was going clear I at least wanted RGB, so I looked it up and it was $75CAD… Ouch, bags are like $20CAD.

So I thought about it and I wondered if I could make one.

So I got this bag and a 16.5ft string of fairy lights. I busted out the misses sewing needles and stitched in the wires to the fabric seme and this was the result.

I am extremely pleased with it. Next time I think I’d move the battery pack to the edge where the zipper starts or ends. Otherwise would recommend.

Bag was $19CAD and the LED’s were $13CAD

        What about facing the remote downwards so its profile doesn’t block as much light?

        Or is that unpractical for some reason?

          The remote is IR, so it’s facing up so the receiver can see it. That said I don’t think it’ll work when the bag is full. It’s in the front pocket for easy access.

    Whatever you do, don’t take it to an airport, courthouse or a bank… Oh you’re in Canada. Never mind, you guys don’t have the police looking at kills like a video game score up there.
