Armature Wire and Tubing

Annealed Aluminum armature wire is inexpensive for beginners to use when making skeleton armatures for their puppets. The shrink tubing will lengthen the life of the wire by causing the wire to bend in a gentle curve and prevent it from scratching. Just cut the tubing, slide it over the wire and use a heat gun, hair dryer or lighter to shrink the tubing over the wire.
