Metal star ready for pixels - only $15

Hello all,

Just been shopping and my wife purchased a star from Kmart. The nice thing is that it is powder coated metal and already has holes for lights. And for a price of $15. I was thinking of getting some pixels and putting some coro over the top to see what happens.

Nice bargain......

 

cool idea. look a lot better then making your own Coro ones

Looks like these may have potential, will have to check them out.
Thanks for sharing.

 

How big is it?

 

36 cm wide, 34 cm tall. 6 cm deep, Depth Split in 1/2 3cm front side, 3 cm back

 

Where in Kmart did you find these Gems ?

 

Near the lamps. There is also arrows and the "&".

Target also had arrows and the "&".

 

Just a heads up if anyone is using these Kmart stars, I saw these today in my local Kmart on clearance at 1/2 price, just $6. Couldn't resist, I bought a bunch of them.
Has anyone fitted these with pixels, I'd love to see some pics of how they turned out.

 

Picked me up 10 of these myself today..

 

Thanks David for the tip. I just picked up 6 but thinking I want more!!!

 

I went to Kmart this morning and bought 5 for $18. I found 4 that had a globe broken on each so they gave them to me at half price so $3 each

 

Did you end up getting these into your display in the end? Do you have pictures or video?
Are they weatherproof as is or will they rust quickly?

 

Unfortunately I had the wrong nodes (5v) that I ordered. Hehe.
They went to good use though......

Never did get any 12v. Looking to order some for next Xmas. May have to get a few more. Goid price at the moment.

They seem powder coated so should survive as long as they don't lose any coating......

 

should the normal 12mm bullet pixels fit these?
