bend sensor: so for this one I used duct tape for the outer part and a thread with three layers of velostat.

so whenever u bend the duct tape, the red light lights up more. This was the easiest one between them.

for the pressure sensor I used conductive fabric wrapped with duct tape as well and and velostat and when you press on it the blue light would light up more.

I used a head band with conductive thread stitched onto it on both sides (positive and negative). this was hardest out of them. and I am not sure it worked out as i hoped it would.

So for this one I decided to play with pressure switches. I used a sponge with two conductive fabric. I assumed it would be a pressure sensor but it turned out to be a switch instead. so I wrapped it around a plastic bag (only thing i found at home) for it become a bracelet and so when u shake someone’s hand it would light up.
