I use steel wire from Michaels or a hobby shop. You've seen those displays with the tiny diameter steel wires, along with the brass and aluminum tube.
You can use small diameter brass rod. I think but, don't go out and buy it, the stanchions use .019" diameter wire. Just to give you an idea of the size.
Also, I have used styrene plastic rod. I think they are made by Evergreen. Again, most hobby shops have a display stand of assorted plastic tubes, rods, and sheet.

Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.
