Thanks ALOT for the Help . Those stars look so good on your house. Once again I can’t wait to see what new things you have this christmas!!!!!!!
thanks for sharing
I made this star following your design , however , I used 1/2 plastic electrical pipe from home depo to make it 100 percent weather resistant.Thanks for your video and the idea.
great video thanks
how did you hook the ends of the pipes together
What I did was drill out the ends of the plastic pvc pipe makeing sure they were drilled equal on both ends.Then I used zip ties that were tightened after the star was formed.The size of the hole depends on the zip ties being used.I went with the 7.5 inch ones.I formed the star then simply went around and adjusted it with the zip ties untill I was happy with the shape and spaceing etc.Then I used the ip ties to lock the other pipes onto each other , no black tape required.
I also liked your mega tree viedo and it got me thinking about building one of them also , I have a smaller yard so maybe just the 10 foot tree would work out.
i like all your videos just cause great minds think alike.
Have the rodes you use ever fallen apart since the are held together by tape? Good video. Thanks
you can get about 6 or 7 years out of thim if you tape thim good and tite.
Thanks!! My wife has been wanting a star for quite some time now….and now she does. I just finished a 45 inch star using 18 foot of chaser rope light. I plan on building two more for the other two arches on the front of the house.
Thanks again…your video helped out alot.
Next Christmas (2010) I plan to do the 23 foot Christmas tree.

Great how to video. I wish I had seen it several weeks ago. Do you think if I painted the sticks black they would last even longer?
Great video mate, very inspiring!
hey im sorry but what size are the wooded sticks,they 3 ft long
nice. I am going to attempt to make a star. We want to mount it to our donkey manger for Christmas time.
For a 12 foot long rope light this is almost a perfect size! Thanks… made one on the weekend with bolts, instead of tape, and it worked great.
If you want a bigger star, the length of your sticks (L) can be calculated with this:
L in inches = (total rope light in inches x .262). This will be accurate if you place the rope light on top of the sticks. If you wrap it around the outside edge of the sticks you will need to make them an inch or so shorter.
Thanks for the vid i just made me some great idea man!!
Hello how do you attach the star to the tree? Thanks Cindy
Love it, I already have many rope lights so I will b making this crafty art … Good job !!
Thank you I am making starburst on poles for the 4th of July and need 6 stars from small to large which could cost 270.00 if I buy from the store your idea Is simple and quick
thanks this was helpful
Thanks for the super and simple idea. Fantastic ! Merry Christmas !
Excellent idea. Saved me lots of time as I was thinking of making a star out of mitered wood. Your method is so much easier. I ended up using 1/2″ dowels and drilled small holes at the ends. I used cable ties instead of duct tape to fasten the dowels together. I figure this will allow me to store the star more compactly after Christmas. All I would need to do is cut off one cable tie, and all the dowels should fold nicely into a bundle.
