Super Softstrand, Vinyl-Coated Stranded Stainless Steel Picture Wrapping Wire, Size #5, 43 lb / 20 kg, 80 ft / 24 m

Much nicer than braided wire with no coating. Always use protection kids!

This is what you are looking for, cut the desired length and wrap the ends. It is that simple

I purchased this based on other reviews. I had been working with a 16 gauge wire and gave up. I had the reviews and this is really easy to work with
