Badkidsrmyjob 0 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I hope this is the best place for this topic. First time poster, long-time reader... I'm seeking advice on the best way to punch holes for mini's or larger lights in coroplast. I've been making my own snowflakes for my display and have been using a drill bit. This method works fine, but it is a bit messy. I was wondering if there were any cleaner methods out there. Thanks in advance, [email protected] Link to post Share on other sites

jeeper621 11 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Soldering iron works great on plastic cups when I make sparkleballs. Make sure you use it in a well ventilated area! Link to post Share on other sites
Mcas4380 49 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just use a philips screw driver the size of your bulbs its not hard to push through and your hole will hold the lights tight. Link to post Share on other sites
Randy 6 Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I use a pointed Sears Craftman scratch awl (looks like a short icepick). $5 at Sears in the screwdriver display wall. Just the right size, works great.... Link to post Share on other sites

Dale W 4 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Scratch awl. Poke from front to back. Use the width of your thumb as a spacing guide. Link to post Share on other sites
