Step 4What you need Rev 2
You need:
Multiple colors of fabric, or one color if you want every note the same color. The quilting section of your closest fabric store is the best place to get this cheaply. Quilting quarters are $1.50 and you can get a ton of switches out of one.
Conductive fabric, I suggest the Flectron fabric from LessEMF it's $20 for a 12"x54" piece
Eyelets for attaching the wire to the fabric. You can get them at most fabric stores cheap. JoAnn has the tool and 25 for $2 You will need a hammer for this.
Wire, I used 22AWG, I suggest smaller if you have it.
Fusing, to get the colored and conductive fabric to stick together. Ask at the store and you can probably buy it by the yard. This would probably work fine, though I do suggest you ask someone
Batting, I used a really loose stuff at first, then switched to something tighter knit. I suggest you just try a couple different ones till you find what works best.
Heat shrink tubing, this made the whole thing a lot more manageable. heat shrink wires together as they pass each other and they'll stay a lot better.
