Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I started another thread about my stars over at http://doityourselfchristmas.com/for...inch-RGB-Stars under buy/sell/trade.. I did not want to hijack this thread too badly...

The sides would be a black plastic and the cover would be a milky white cover

I discarded a similar design to this in my testing phase .

In a simpler design you could build a coro box with a black vinyl sign cut out for half the cost of your plastic commercially made product. I found that having illuminated sides gives a more 3d effect to the stars.

I would be very curious to know what/how you cut out the Star outline.
Slitting coro along the seam is easy, but, cutting straight on the bias is another animal.
Did you use a knife or scissors?

When I cut out my stars from coro, I used a straightedge and a utility knife. After awhile you get used to cutting across the flutes...

I have similar plans for a 'host' of angels on the roof this year- glad to see how nicely these turned out.

What kind of plugs/connectors did you use to connect them together?

I used a mix of 2 ,3 and 4 pin waterproof plugs from Ray Wu

I just use a hobby knife with a no 11 blade .

I look forward to seeing these. I was thinking of changing some of my window luminaries to angels this year .
