This guide was written for the Gemma board, but can be done with either the v1, v2 or Gemma M0. We recommend the Gemma M0 as it is easier to use and is more compatible with modern computers!

Before you get started, follow the Gemma M0 guide or the Classic Introducing GEMMA guide 

Make your own flexible, spiky, glowing accessory using NeoPixel strip diffused by NinjaFlex flexible 3D printing filament! Magnets let you attach the spikes to anything in your wardrobe. The soft flexible enclosure holds GEMMA, the tiny microcontroller that animates the LEDs, and a rechargeable lipoly battery.

For this project you will need:

It's easy to wear your spikes around your collar, over your shoulder, in your hair, on the strap of a bag, and even in your hair. How will you wear it? We'd love to see your versions on our weekly show and tell on Google+!
