  Step 1

  Start by sketching out what you'd like your neon to look like with a marker pen. You could also find a font you like online and print out a design.

• 

  Step 2

  Secure a sheet of clear plastic on top of your template using double sided sticky tape.

• 

  Step 3

  Buy an EL wire long enough to stretch your design. You can get these for a few dollars online in lots of different colours.

• 

  Step 4

  Punch a hole at the start of your design so that you can slip the wire through to the front.

• 

  Step 5

  Bend the wire into the shape of your design and use an awl to pierce two holes into the plastic at the top and bottom of the letter.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut a small length of matching wire and secure the EL Wire in place to the plastic.

• 

  Step 7

  Continue working your way along the designs, bending the EL wire to match the design and then securing in place with then wire.

• 

  Step 8

  More complicated designs can be created by punching extra holes through the plastic and wrapping the EL wire around the back. In this design, I had to do this for the a's and the t.

• 

  Step 9

  Keep going until you've completed the design and then bring the EL wire back through to the back of the plastic.

• 

  Step 10

  Remove the paper template form the back.

• 

  Step 11

  Trim away and excess plastic from the outside of your design.

• 

  Step 12

  Hang on the wall.

• 

  Step 13

  Turn off the lights, turn on your neon and prepare to be amazed!
