One of the reasons I'm excited about this project is that it will make electronics easier to learn.  Too often complexity is a barrier to entry for new electronics learners, and this aims to make it smooth and fun to get started.  Here's some instructions sheets I've created to ship with the sample packs for feedback from users, including a double-sided set of general use instructions with circuit diagram examples.  It also comes with a couple of project ideas, including a crown headband and how to make a glow bag.  The aim is to make this accessible to a breadth of people, including teachers who may not have any electronics experience to those who are experienced but have no wearable tech experience.  
I've made these instruction sheets printable PDF files (download in the files section of this project page) and made them in Adobe Illustrator.  

It takes longer to make instructions this way but makes it easier for the user to absorb with large images and a bright, colourful, fun design.  I appreciate any feedback or thoughts on these!  More project idea sheets coming soon.
