Awe Me’s DIY Cosplay Shop recently tackled Emily from The Corpse Bride. The character’s costume is haunting and a little macabre but also beautiful. Host Elizabeth Rage begins by going over the basics of the costume — even though it can be tempting to jump right into creating, it’s smart to think about the steps necessary and which parts are going to be tricky before you start working. It’s like reading the recipe before you start cooking. Emily’s ensemble involves a corset, a veil, and bones. Watch the above video and get all the details.
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.
