The El Wire:
For our project we used 3 colors of 2.5mm high brightness EL Wire. We picked out lime green, blue, and pink for our colors. El Wire comes in many colors and sizes now. Make sure the size you pick out and the length you need will have a cordless driver for it or you will be sunk.

The Wl Wire Driver:
Most places that sell el wire recommend various drivers that have the length of EL Wire its likely to drive well marked on it. We use 3 simple AA battery based units for this project. One for the outer lower wings, one for the outer upper wings and one for all the inner wing segments. They worked out very well for us in this arangment!

Fish Tape:
We picked up a 50ft fish tape refill from our home improvement center to attach the EL Wire to. This is a very cheap way to create great shape that will hold its shape extremely well.

Wire:
We will need a little wire to connect the inner wing sections to the power source. We used a nice light 18ga stereo speaker wire that is flexible for these connections.
