Holy Shamrocks Batman....

Hmm was going try something for a St. Pat's day party...
Wanted to get thoughts on if you think you can use a smaller version of the arch in multiples to create a lighted shamrock that would have some additional effects... It needs more flexibility maybe than the arches.. Think PVC would still be a good choice? Other ideas for what might work? Wood maybe but doesn't leave the hollow middle I was kindda looking for...Well I guess you could do that but a lot more work... Thoughts?

Wireframe would probably be what you are looking for.

Wow... coroplast looks cool... Has anyone had experience with it. Can you use a standard drill to drill out the holes or is this a better order it with custom specs type of thing? Never worked with the stuff and totally new to this so.. any pointer appreciated...

Yes a drill will work just fine. A awl would work too
Think of it as cardboard made of plastic instead of paper.
A utility knife will cut it.
Its not strong, you will need to attach some wood behind it to support it against wind, etc

David since you are in this thread I do have a question for you. I really like the mini arches I saw on your sight and was wondering how many channels did it take to do that demo video?
