Check out the latest tutorial from Erin St Blaine: Make glowing hair flowers with n00ds flexible LED filament. These glowing hair flowers are so beautiful! People can’t stop commenting on them – you can stare at them for ages and the iridescent reflective foil refracts the light from the n00ds in such a beautiful way.

From the guide:

Light up your hair with these beautiful iridescent glowing hair flowers. The magical light comes from Adafruit n00ds: a fun, flexible noodle-like LED filament. These little noodles are jam-packed with LEDs and look a bit like EL wire, but with no need for an inverter. They are available in a variety of colors and lengths so you’ll be able to find just the right n00d for your project. This is a fun beginner project that requires a little bit of tricky soldering but no coding or software. Just connect the n00ds to a coin cell battery breakout and they will light up and glow. Adafruit n00ds come in a variety of colors and lengths. We also have them in single-ended or double-ended variety. The double-ended variety are a bit easier to solder to: solder a wire to each end. The single-ended variety have both leads on one end, which is perfect for some projects where you don’t want to have to double back to the battery, but these are wicked hard to solder to. For these hair flowers I used the 300mm single-ended n00ds in red, blue, and warm white.
