You can skip straight to here if you just want to see the finished project in action: youtu.be/S1zFrmkFmMU?t=15m10s
Here's a link to the LEDs I used: amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4UKG2W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and of course the Photon: Particle.io
Here's a link to the code from my MS OneDrive:

Well I've finally jumped the shark here :) Seriously, this is more code than ever, but it's still pretty straight forward. You guys can totally do this!
FIred up the FastLED library on my Particle Photon to create an animated Christmas wreath out of a couple of strings of WS2811 addressable RGB LEDs.
Physical construction is tedious, but easy enough. The code can be as complicated or simple as you want. Just depends on how fancy you want to be, and how much time you feel like investing.
