Please note that the LEDs are wired in series on these strips, hence the 12v rating. The LEDs themselves are NEVER 12v individually, and are all in the 1.8v - 3.4v range. Also, if they have waterproofing silicone on top, just peel it off after cutting.

SMD LEDs (links above if you can't find any locally)
Resistors (value calculated in the video)
Clear silicone and watercolour paints
Thin wire and stiff wire
