Hello again everybody! Here is my second post, and another video!
Setting up Gemma with Arduino IDE:

Tinybit Driver:

(If you have any questions, or problems, feel free to ask [I know installing the driver was hard!] I've done it before. [on windows 7])
(I made a diagram using the Fritzing app)
My initial outline uses a Gemma, a Lipo battery, 8 or 6 Neopixels, thread/wire, and the push button.
The Gemma and Lipo battery will go in the left ear, which will wire around the helmet to the other ear, Which will have/be connected to the push button, which will be wired back to the battery (to be soldered on). more wire will go from the Gemma, around the back of the helmet, to the Neopixles (in the eye and in the interior). Both ears will be detachable, as to access the parts, so there will need to be an abundance of wire to do so. The conductive thread spool says it is 85' long.
By next week, I plan to finish the fiberglass/cutting/
drilling, and place magnets down, as well as finish building the other ear, with a tutorial as to show you how to build the helmet, and to give you an idea of the finished product. Well, that's all I have for this week. Thanks for watching/reading, and I will see you guys next week!
Below is the starting sketch of the Gemma and Neopixels.
