We recommend the use of either 24 or 26 gauge beading wire (available online or at most major hobby retailers) for hinge points. 26 gauge wire will fit and be slightly loose which may allow steps to fold down on their own. A small curve can be placed in wire at hinge point prior to inserting to add tension. 24 gauge wire provides a more snug fit. After inserting wire at hinges and trimming flush we recommend a small dab of glue to secure pins.
