# DIY Light-Up Scarves Becky Stern's Chameleon LED Scarves Adapt to Any Color They Scan By | Published 2013-05-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/becky-stern References: [gizmodiva](http://gizmodiva.com/fashion/diy-color-changing-led-scarf-springs-shades-fashion.php) & [learn.adafruit](http://learn.adafruit.com/chameleon-scarf/) With Becky Stern's new light-up scarves you can flaunt a different color every day according to how you feel. By scanning a colorful object, such as a green apple, these Chameleon Scarves' LED lights adapt to that color. They flash in that color until the next object is scanned. The best part of these light-up scarves is that they can be created at home with little money coming out of your wallet. By using a ruffled scarf and inserting a string of LED lights into the fabric, you can have your very own light-up Chameleon Scarf. To get the color-changing effect, a Flora color sensor is used, which scans every color and tells the LED lights which hue to adopt. With these scarves you'll never have to buy another scarf again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Color-adapting LED Accessories:** The trend of color-adapting LED accessories allows for customizable fashion experiences. - **DIY Wearable Electronics:** The trend of DIY wearable electronics empowers individuals to create personalized and interactive clothing items. - **Smart Fashion Technology:** The trend of smart fashion technology integrates intelligent features into clothing and accessories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage color-adapting LED accessories to offer innovative and customizable products. - **Electronics:** The electronics industry can explore opportunities in providing DIY wearable electronics components and kits. - **Technology:** The technology industry can develop smart fashion technology solutions to enhance user experiences and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY LED Flower Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floled.md) - [Smart Fairy Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-fairy-lights.md) - [Math-Driven Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light.md) - [Seamless Color-Changing Christmas Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festavia-string.md) - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md) - [Cozy Scarf Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat.md) - [Curtain-Style Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-rgbic-curtain-lights.md) - [Self-Expressive Custom Rope Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-rope-light.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Turn Signal Armbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher-armbands.md)
