DIY: NEON CLOUD


Hey boys n gals! Hope you're all doing fabulous this week! I have waited over a month for this fabulous wire to come in the mail so I could make this sweet DIY and show you guys! Steps below if you want to make your own.

YOU WILL NEED:
  • EL wire (I got mine from Ebay)
  • Clear fishing line
  • Wire to make your frame
  • Scissors and wire cutters
  • a fab idea

HOW TO:
  1. Start by deciding what you want your neon sign to be whether that's a quote or image but make sure it can flow along the wire in one go as there is no cutting allowed.
  2. Start bending your wire into your desired shape. I drew a cloud onto a sketch pad and used that as a rough guide.
  3. Once you've got your wire shape done start placing the EL wire along your shape and use pegs to hold it down whilst you measure it out.
  4. Once you've got pegs holding your design down start cutting small pieces of fishing line and tie them all the way around your frame to keep the EL wire secure.
  5.  Now all you need to do is find a fab place on your wall to hang it and you're done! 

Love Alex
