I would recommend you get a complete kit. That way you won't have to figure what to buy and what size components, etc.

Hook & hackle has complete kits starting at about $60. This will include everything you need but the tools. You'll also have glue and thread left over for future builds.

You can improvise on the wrapper and tensioner but you can buy one from Hook & Hackle for about $30.00 and have a good tool that works well and hassle free. You will have it for future projects and the time you save rigging a substitute will be well worth it.
