Saftey reflector buttons (for kids) - Hack

Jacket/coat with reflective buttons.






Advantages:
Bring a jacket to life with some reflecting tape.
Keep your kids safer.
Let your kids forget their reflective badge like they always do.
Visible to cars.

Disadvantages:
It's not cool.

You need:
Some sort of reflecting tape, I used diamond tape as its reflecting in all angles.
The clothing your kids use regularly.
I used discrete blue. You can use red and green as a Christmas theme.

How you do this needs no tutorial. Ad tape, wrap the edges under the button. If you remove it you have to clean of the glue.

Some examples:



With lighting and flash
Represent: white background
From car, in daylight and close


With a weak back light
Represent: white background
From car, 10 meters and in the dark
Weakest possible back light no tape
Represent: Black background
From car, in the dark and 40 meters



Weakest possible back light with tape(only blue)
Represent: Black background
From car, in the dark and 40 meters
