The original idea was sort of a "barber pole" of spinning, glowing EL wire. I used a section of 2" ABS pipe I had lying around (PVC would work just as well) and braided the wires around it. I wound 3 wires (all red) in one direction, and two yellows plus a green wire in the other direction.

Conveniently, all of the other parts fit inside the tube -- the batteries, switch, inverter, and wiring harness -- and a balled-up sock stuffed in the tube held it all in place.
