Thanks.

wire from the hardware store (20 gauge is what most people use I think?)

cut 2 stars in gumpaste, wet them on one side, put the wire in between, press lightly together, dry overnight until solid

That is exactly how I do it...20 is the right size. Also, remember to get coffee stirrers to insert the wire into so it doesn't come in contact with the cake itself.
