Cosplay props are great starting points for Halloween costumes – the Sound Reactive Rapunzel Hair is one of our favorites.
Let your power shine with this DIY light-up Rapunzel wig. The Circuit Playground Bluefruit uses its onboard microphone to listen for your voice and creates a golden light animation when it hears a sound. Sing your heart out, and the sound-reactive lights will make your hair glow with a warm magic light, reminiscent of Rapunzel’s hair from Disney’s Tangled movie.
This is a great project to do with kids, who will not be able to get enough of this fantastic cosplay prop. It’s a fairly easy project involving just a little bit of tricky wiring. Example CircuitPython code is included so you can copy and paste to make the hair light up in a golden wave. The code is easy to customize, so it suits your cosplay character if yellow is not your color.
