This is a very basic set of instructions that I created to document how I went about making this fun "party hat" using Circuit Playground Express!
Supplies
Circuit Playground Express & Battery Pack ( with 3 AAA), Computer, Needle, Thread, Hat or other surface, and scissors
Build Your Circuit Playground Express Pattern

This is an example using the "when A button is pressed" and "when B button is pressed " to control colors and sounds that will occur on your item. Using a "clear will stop the color from staying on.
Add a Motion Sensor or Other Sensor!

I used the motion sensor so that when even the circuit is shaken it will pay a different sound and light up
