Review on JIGUOOR 9.8Ft Pink EL Wire Light Strip With Battery Pack - Perfect For DIY Party Decorations And Festivities by Gavin Hernandez

When my kid showed me a drawing of something I can only describe as a cyberpunk furry 10 days before Halloween this year and requested that I somehow magically produce something similar in that time frame, I was a little intimidated by the task. So, off to the internet I went to try and figure out how to do it that would be 1) FAST 2) easy-ish and 3) cheap.I’ve never used EL wire for anything before, but it was inexpensive, delivered quickly and I found lots of helpful tips and videos on using the stuff online, so I figured it was worth a shot.It was much easier to use than I expected it to be and my kid is still (even at 17) convinced I’m some sort of craft wizard (he was super pleased with the results), so I’m claiming it as a win.A few quick notes/tips:* use some washi tape, yarn or regular wire to plot out your design before you start trying to bend and adhere the EL wire to your project. This isn’t really a "wing it” type project material.* get a much longer wire than you think your project will require. You can always cut off the excess or leftover length from the end, and you’ll be surprised how much you actually use.* Be patient and look for tutorials online to find the best options for attaching the wire to whatever material you’re attaching it to.* don’t forget to plan in a pocket, pouch or strap to attach the battery pack in a discrete location to your project.
