Homemade EL Wire Vest

This is a vest I decided to spruce up with some EL wire! It still needs a bit of work - the wires connecting the vest to the driver are a bit short and need lengthening.

You can always cut the EL wire, splice and solder it back correctly,restoring the continuity of the two internal seperate wires.
Just pay attention to keep the two wires insulated from each other at your splicings, AND the splice insulated from you, floating high voltages here! | <- splicing
/ \ <- both of the branches you want to join at a right angle.
You can tuck the insulated splicings into the costume, and Voila!
Bright EL wire, with sharp, crisp angles!

You mention EL wire can't be bent into right angles, but what I'm wondering is: how tight a radius of curvature CAN the wire be bent into? Do you think it would accept a half-inch diameter circle? I have some ideas for a rave costume that I want to implement...

@TheMathGuy - It probably depends on the type of EL wire you want to use. I buy mine from coolneon.com, and they have some useful details on their product pages. For example, their standard diameter (2.6 mm) wire can curl around your finger. Angel hair diameter wire (1.2 mm), is more fragile, but can bend over onto itself 180 degrees on an 1/8" radius. A word of caution with the angel hair - I've heard it photo bleaches easily, so you might want to keep it out of the sun.

Thanks for the positive comments! I hope to see more people try 3-D imagery with EL wire!
