The SuperStar is made using 12 Cosmic Color Ribbons with a Star on top. I purchased 13 Cosmic Color Ribbons so that I have a spare. Light-O-Rama is really good about promptly replacing a faulty ribbon, but while waiting for the replacement to arrive I like having the spare.

I zip tied each CCR to a pair of ropes as you can see in the pictures. I also ran aluminum wire horizontally across the ribbons in five places in order to keep the ribbons facing forward.

The star has 6 concentric stars in it. Each of the 6 stars is controlled by 1 channel from a standard 16 channel Light-O-Rama controller. I made my star from ¼ inch polyethylene plastic as you can see in the pictures. However, it was very labor intensive to make it. One of my customers sent me pictures of his star which he made by taping strings of LED lights to a wire frame. This looks easier to do and that is what I would recommend.

For the ropes on the edge, the aluminum wire can be looped

This is a star that a fellow by the name of Jeffrey Frank made. White strings of LED lights are taped to 4 concentric wire frame stars. This looks easier to make than my star and I would recommend making the star this way.
