DIY Neon Sign with EL Wire

Submitted by Christine Liu on

You can use Electroluminescent (EL) wire to make a faux-neon sign for your wall or window. 

Materials used:

Bend the sculpture wire into the desired shape.  I would recommend not adding too many sharp angles and turns, as the EL wire does not bend easily.  Solder as needed.

Bend the EL wire to match the sculpture.  Tie to the sculpture wire with fishing line.  (Hot glue doesn't work well.)
