Hi Rachel. We used side-bend flexible LED neon and used the laser to cut a channel the same width as the flexible LED. Leave a slightly larger opening on the ends to solder and glue in the ends. I think I have a picture of the back I'll try to find.

Check out Hanley LED go to their web site. They have a tool that helps you spec the correct Modules. That rope stuff you are showing is DYI, stay away.
