Beltline Rd in Irving), quoted $14.50 for 48" x 96". Called Port Plastics from the comments above and was quoted $9.61 for 48" x 96" white. They will cut in half for free, minimum sale is $25 though, just have to buy enough 'stuff' to meet minimum.

You won't believe this- called back the same location I called yesterday and the guy says, the price is "forty-fifty", not "fourteen-fifty"! They're considering honoring the 'misunderstood' price, waiting for a call back. ---------------------- Ok, first- why do I feel like I'm spamming this topic  They called back and the 'permanent' price for their coro is... $15! colors included! 4' x 8'.

David here from HolidayCoro.com I work very hard to keep our costs down so we can offer an inexpensive product that is well produced, easy to assemble and well thought out. The Singing Pumpkin, referenced at the start of this thread, is only $39.99 + shipping. That includes a full 4x8 sheet of coro (we ship your item in a coro box also), the pre-punched design, the bulb tracing order in oil-based marker (this is VERY helpful when you are putting in the bulbs), step-by-step instructions (four pages of them) and six pre-sequenced songs. There are other vendors selling just a song or two for that amount, without the designs so we believe it's a very reasonable deal. Don't forget that reproduce the design, when you add in the costs for sales tax, gas and time to pickup the coro, getting the projector, laying out the design, having a vehicle large enough to put it in, drilling the holes, etc that having something show up, that was produced on a very accurate machine, ready to go in about 2-4 days sure seems pretty easy. Thanks! David HolidayCoro

I've worked in warehouses and there is no reason they couldn't get a thicker box to ship this in without damage and WITHOUT strapping it to a pallete. That's just insane. I ordered some of the Baby Sidewalk Coro Arches from HolidayCoro in 2010 (David Moore) and I didn't get it on a pallete. David packs his stuff very well, very well protected in a nice sturdy box, and not a single piece was damaged in transit. In perfect shape when I got them and I still have a few pieces stored that I have not used in the original box it came in. If I could have afforded it this year (2011), I would have ordered quite of few of his Halloween coro goodies. I know he does great work, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I just didn't have the fund$ this year to invest in any new items, like his coro characters and decor. Hopefully next year I will be able to pick up some of his great stuff. DIY is fine, but I'd rather let someone else do the design(although I might ask if they can do something specific if possible) and drilling, and I just fill in the dots (holes) where the lights go.

I've had HolidayCoro products (both standard and custom designs) for several years and have been very happy with David's work and prices. I have a couple more custom designs for him to do in January, when he's not so busy. To test some of these designs, I get some similar plastic material (locally) and use a Dremel Trio http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages/CategoryProducts.aspx?catid=85 to tweak the design. Works great with a small rotary cutting tip and works in any direction. It cuts quick, so plan ahead. If you're looking for straight cuts, HolidayCoro makes a specialized cutter http://www.holidaycoro.com/photos/29.jpg that also makes quick work of your designs. It's designed for 4mm thick coro.

I have bought a few things from HolidayCoro and I will say that I'm very pleased with the craftsmanship and designs. With the traces on the back, makes it so easy to put your bulbs in. The prices that David (HolidayCoro) has are are ot only good but in some instances include sequences. Most sequences that are for sale cost (cheapest) $25 - $30 each. Consider the Pumpkin that comes with 8 free sequences or the monster kit with 18 free sequences. Can't beat that! MikeH

Remember those old overhead projectors that were used in school back in the 70's. They are a dime a dozen. The bulb is actually more expensive than the projector. I find a image I like in a book, photocopy on to a transparency and then project it on to mu plywood or what ever you are using

Try one of these. Uses ordinary bulbs. No need for the transparency step. About $50 at most craft stores.

Maybe I am thinking into this too much but I would imagine Coro flying all over the yard in just about every breeze. Especially for some of the larger sizes. For those of you using these how are you keeping them from blowing or bending in the wind?

Take a look on HolidayCoro site. an look at the video that David did with his Leaf blower on full. I believe it is in the design and the installation.

For those of you using these how are you keeping them from blowing or bending in the wind? Actually you want the coro to bend. Think about trees - trees are fairly strong but how they really withstand high winds is by bending and giving into the wind. So, a number of our products, such as the CoroTree are designed to bend.

Ask your local farmers for old seed signs.. Just use the side that isn't printed on? Last edited on Wednesday May 2nd, 2012 05:46 pm by l0chte ____________________ http://www.CelinaSequencedLights.com |

As someone who decided to make a 3 channel Coro Star of Bethlehem last year, I strongly recommend buying. Measuring spacing and drilling took what seemed like an eternity. It turned out great, but it was way more trouble than it was worth. I'll definitely buy next time...

At HolidayCoro.com we try to make our coro items priced as reasonable as possible and as you mentioned - having someone make 5, 10, 15 protoypes and work out the kinks first and then produce them on a computer controlled CNC machine does add value to what seems like just cutting and poking holes in coro. Thanks, David
