Sarah’s Halloween Costume

Crystal Skeleton Materials
Reflective vinyl – iron on
Black long sleeve t-shirt
Black pants
Black lycra mask
Durable plastic skull
Crystal molds
Resin mix + UV curing
Flexible NeoPixel LED strip & battery pack – I plan on using 2-3 strips of 8 LED’s

I’ve adjusted by costume to account for the low light up time of glow in the dark paper. I’ve switched to use reflective vinyl. I think this will still look great and reflect any ambient light around me.

I’m also thinking I’ll cut this flexible LED into 2 -3 strips.

I will cut open the top of the plastic skull head and insert my crystal set. I’m thinking of using blue foam to hold the crystals as well as the led strip/arduino set up. The LED strip(s) will sit inside the blue foam base.

Arduino Techniques:
I want my LED strip(s) to pulse blue light. I will will adjust the brightness of the LEDs to do this. Following this repetitive blue light pulse I want the strips to perform a rainbow display before switching back to the blue pulse.
