T-Sketch your own T-Shirt
Draw your design or write a message on your chest using the T-sketch. Make yourself a ‘Hi my name is…’ tag, or write something really random that people are guaranteed to ask you about or simply doodle. Then through the use of cunningly concealed AAA batteries (remove before washing!) you not only get to project your innermost thoughts but you get to make them flash too. Wherever the specially designed pen hits the wipe clean board, lights below the surface are activated. You can then set different vibrancies for the design- anything from a dull glow to a flashing strobe. Great attention grabber on drunken nights out!
