Here's a prototype of a Christmas Star that I tried out in the back garden. It's made from two layers of exterior plywood (with spacer). At the back of each layer are sections of RGB strip, all soldered together and controlled by a three channel controller on standalone mode.
The LEDs reflect the light back off the solid surface and give the silhouette effect. Looks better in real life, but the video
gives an idea of the effects it gives. If you're not too confident in soldering, then have a practice beforehand.

I'm now converting some old Halogen Floodlights into LEDs (Green Superflux LEDs) and fitting a controller in each, to light the front of my house up in a green glow for Halloween, to compliment last years Pumpkin face and masks etc. If they look ok, I'll post the results
