Step 7: Flowers Shapes

Cut some of the pieces of metal fabrics to make two flowers. Make a hole of 13  mm diameter on the small flower to insert the micro El wire inverter   These flowers will be used to hide all the electric connections

Step 8: Flower Final Touch

Step 9: El Wire Inverter Covering

Cover the micro El Wire inverter with a small amount of brass fabric using silicone adhesive sealant and insert it in the small flower

Step 10: Coin Battery Holder
