Nightmare Moon Unicorn Horn Made with Hot Glue and EL Wire
Elentari Cosplay — we recently featured her amazing Howl’s Moving Castle costume — is working on a new cosplay and this time it’s Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The pony is the sister of Princess Celestia, and as you might guess by the name, she’s associated with the night. She’s dark blue and black, and her unicorn horn practically glows. Elentari Cosplay took a creative approach and made the horn using hot glue. The material gives the horn a translucent quality so that once she wrapped it with EL wire, it seemed to glow from the inside out. You can see the effect in the below picture.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
