Help for an uber-newbie making a light up wig

Thank you so much! That was a huge help in figuring out a starting point! Thanks for taking the time to respond!

I am on an EXTREME deadline, though... I'm not sure I can learn this in a few days. Is there anyone out there in the Midwest US who knows how to do this? I would be willing to send the supplies and hire someone! If you think you can help, go to my web site www.balloongenuity.com and use the contact form to send a message. Meanwhile I will keep studying!
