Make Spell Scroll Earrings to Go with Your Wizard Costume
If you happen to be dressing like a wizard, mage, sorcerer, or other kind of spellcaster in the near future, Instructables user Dreamchronic has a fantastic accessory idea for you. He’s come up with wearable spell scroll earrings that you can put secret messages on. They’d be a fun everyday accessory, actually.
The scrolls are made from paper, food coloring, earring hooks, and a few other supplies. The secret message part comes from a security UV set that has a marker pen and a LED flashlight. It’s up to you whether you want to try to write very small so the spells have legible words or whether you want to follow the example in the Instructable and just make the marks on the scrolls look like writing. You could definitely translate this idea to a necklace.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
