This weekend, I made a light up, neopixel-enabled crown for my 3-year-old cousin. She always seems quite taken with my light-up contraptions so I figured it was time she had one of her own. It looks pretty cool, and I’d like to indoctrinate her into my world of blinky LEDs and making at a young age…
There are two halves to this project – the electronics-and-code side, and the actual fabrication of the crown. They fit together and you could do them in any order really. You don’t need to be an expert at either – I would say this is a fine beginner project, even if you don’t have much experience in either area.
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
