Tim Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would like to make some stars this year for my display instead of buying the ones from Home Depot or Lowes. Has anyone made their own from pvc pipes or some other material that a person could put together. I did see the video that RichardH made and I am very impressed, but I don't need one that big. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Tim,I build my stars from 1/4" steel rod. Does require welding. I've made them from 20" to five feet across.If you have access to a welder, I'll be glad to provide more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymakr000 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I also made mine from 1/4" steel rod and welded it. If you don't have a welder you could prebend anything and take it to a welding shop or maybe even an exhaust place would do it for you.

Tim Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Thank you guys for the info. I will start asking around for someone who knows how to weld. JBullard, if I find someone I will then ask for more specs. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 i like richard holdmans snowflake material, especially if your using rope light. they are 1/2 flat metal welded. with these, you dont have to worry about the lights spinning around in storage and handleing. i havent done it yet, so i dont know from experience yet. just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
