I had a couple people ask about my snowflake spinners.
I stole the idea from Scott (taybrynn), You can see some of his videos here: http://vimeo.com/user685860 He has his spinners near the peaks of the roof of the two houses he does. I believe he wrapped the pvc with lights like an arch.
You can see video of my Spinners here http://vimeo.com/56594663
Mine are even simpler than his though, I just made a circle out of Non Metallic EMT conduit. My strings were 16.67' long and I figured I wanted snowflakes about 5' so if I folded them in 3 I would get 66".
I used 66" as the diameter and figured the circumference which is 207".
I then took 2 10' Non-Meatllic EMT conduit and cut them down to 104.5" each (added an inch for the connection). I bent them in a circle and dropped a screw in the bell to hold it.
I then just folded the strings and zip tied them to the conduit and then zip tied them at the intersection in the center.
I alternated colors and it came out pretty nice. Each Spinner has 3 blue 50 ct strings and 3 white 50 ct strings, making a 6 channel controlled spinner.
See the pics below.
