This Kitronik University resource looks at making a conductive hook and ‎loop switch.‎

Hook and Loop can be a fantastic switch for switching on and off a soft circuit and ‎can be made from readily available materials. All you need is one strip ‎of conductive hook and loop material, some conductive and non-conductive thread ‎and some backing fabric. Have a look at the video below to see it in use in a circuit.‎

In our case we have attached some stiffer backing fabric onto our main material ‎using non-conductive thread.‎

Then, simply sew on the hook and loop strips, one onto each piece of fabric with ‎conductive thread making sure that there are exposed contact points at each side ‎of the fabric to connect the rest of the project to.‎

Finally, either attach clips such as crocodile leads onto the contacts or continue ‎sewing with conductive thread to complete your circuit.‎
