To do
- Cut up rest of LED strip into sections of 23 LEDs.
- Fix rest of LED strips onto crinoline.
- Microcontrollers and wiring.
- Figure out how much power is needed and battery holders.
- Want side-emitting LEDs along the bottom, but can't find side-emitting LEDs that are also waterproof, and can't put more than 1m of non-waterproof ones in a silicon tube.
- Diameter of crinoline bottom hoop is 80 cm. Need to add an extra 100+cm of arc length of black paneling and tulle paneling to inner layers.

Old sketches:

- Took apart seams of inner layers of black skirt to add extra panels to fit over crinoline.
2019-11-26
- Measured skirt on top of crinoline. Extra panel with bottom arc length of 100+cm.
- Decided to go with 6 strips of 23 LEDs each. Cut one strip.
2019-12-03 - 2019-12-05

- Punched holes in crinoline, used zip ties to attach first LED strip.
- Took apart LED circles and tested FastLED programs.
- Set up LED circles, one strip, and panel together on crinoline and used zip ties to place everything but the panel on crinoline.
- Ran FastLED programs on everything together.
- Pictures posted by others to Facebook, RevSpace kiekjes, Twitter.
