My idea for Halloween is to recreate Harley Quinn’s weapon “Good Night” bat. My idea is to have the letters light up. For this, It would be ideal if i could cut out the letters from the material first. Then I will insert an LED strip light through so all the letters can light up. If that does not work, I will wire the lights on the letters on the exterior of the bat.
Materials
For the LED- I was looking at the Adafruit Strip Lights.
This strip light is easy to cut using a wire cutter. I would have to cut it for each letter on the bat.
For the costume, I have purchased a red dress with frills at the collar and bottom. If i have the time, I will also put the light strips in the neck line.
Option 2
Another idea is to use a scrolling text LED. On the Adafruit website, some of them have been discontinued but I found the following that are available for purchase.
The idea is to buy two of them for each word – “good” and “night”
I found the following as matrix LED – where i can code it to say the words “Good Night”

Tinkercad – need help.
Need to figure out which one to go for. I have looked at some coding examples that I think will help with the approach.
