Hi LED folks!  
I want to show you my LED hat, which I made out of a pebble strip and poly rattan. Pure braiding, no glue involved. The strip used for weaving has 475 LEDs and a 3 cm spacing. Sensor board is also installed.

Great job! I’m sure it took some trial and error.

This is absolutely incredible – I didn’t even realize you COULD make a hat from scratch this way. Can you show a photo of the inside / where you mounted the battery and PixelBlaze? Really well done.

Thank you. I made a “cross-bar” out of rattan and fixated the Pixelblaze + sensor board and a powerbank with a 3D printed holder for easy swapping.
