You can make a crown of light for prom or your birthday this year! A few free-wired NeoPixels make you the cyber-pageant queen.  
  
For this project you will need:

- [Gemma M0](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3501) or [GEMMA v2 wearable microcontroller](http://www.adafruit.com/products/1222 "Link: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1222") (or build on the [GEMMA Starter Pack](http://www.adafruit.com/products/1657))
- seven [sewable NeoPixels](http://www.adafruit.com/products/1260) (or any combination of [pixels](http://www.adafruit.com/category/37_168), NeoPixel rings, or high-density NeoPixel strip) Use "RGB" NeoPixel rings, not "RGBW" type!
- [2x2032 coin cell battery holder](http://www.adafruit.com/products/783 "Link: http://www.adafruit.com/products/783") and [batteries](http://www.adafruit.com/products/654) or [rechargeable lipoly battery](http://www.adafruit.com/products/1317)
- zip ties & hot glue
