Fiber Optic Fairy Wings

Where can one get conducting thread?

How can one attach fiber optic cables to the LilyPad LEDs?

The expensive option is to use an optic cable coupler, but a DIY solution is to glue them together.

I'm hoping all syntax/coding for LilyPad is the same for that of Arduino Uno?

Yes.

How does one attach a battery to LilyPad?

Wire?
