We came up with a simple idea to make a light up Santa hat using an Arduino board and an LED strip. We hooked up the LED strip to the board using jumper cables and alligator clips. No soldering! We downloaded the Neopixel library and used a sample script to program the lights. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel The hat had a fold in it that we could put all the equipment in, but it wouldn't stay in place and the wires were showing. That's why we had to use a needle and thread and stitch the fold shut. It holds everything nicely!
Now we are showing our Christmas spirit with lights! Happy holidays and a happy new year!
