Making and old fashioned one can be done with standard LEDs, Brass telescoping tube and fine insulated wire - but if you want modern ones, you need those rectangular LEDs for the lamp heads.

Making the bends in the brass tubing is hardest for me. A cheap but effective way is to pack the tubing with sand and seal it before bending. Wrapping it tightly with wire also works.
