It was definitely fun, certainly painful at times but totally worth it! I didn't exactly keep track but I am estimating the build was somewhere in the 30 to 40 hour range. However that does not take into consideration the amount of time this project took. Considering the kit manufacturer also resells pre-made 4'圆' panels at $816 each, (I would have needed 6 or more),I think I made out pretty good. If you're planning on doing a smaller area, you may spend less depending on your materials and the fiber optic kit you chose.

All together, I estimate the entire project costed between $500-550. Because of the size, I went with the largest star ceiling kit available, 600 strands. it's only 6.5' wide but it's about 26' long - coming to about 169 sq ft. I did the inside area of a rather large tray ceiling. So did I mention I did this on a budget? I won't say it's a cheap project and it'll depend on the size space you're looking to do.

It creates the perfect ambiance for a home theater, but you could also install these in children's rooms, game rooms, or wherever you want to create a truly impressive area. The version of the fiber optic kit I got makes the points of light twinkle like real stars. And it's really something you have to experience - no picture or video will do it justice. So with a little determination and experimentation I was able to build a beautiful star ceiling that really sets this room apart from anything you've seen. nor did it seem the most appropriate method for a basement. The manufacturer's site gives some ideas about building the ceiling with standard drywall - but lifting heavy drywall into place was not my idea of fun.

However, most of the information I found online were for building these ceilings in rooms where you have attic access, like this article. But the DIY'er in me wouldn't let me give up that soon! I researched these ceilings and found out it may actually possible. These were in homes where people paid tens of thousands of dollars for their home theater - we were on a budget and I thought there was no way I would have the time or money to pay for something that cool. In the planning phases, my wife found a number of pictures online with home theaters featuring beautiful star ceilings. We had our basement finished and in doing so, I planned a good sized room to be our home theater. This past winter we've finally been able to make it a reality. For my wife & I, a dream of ours has always been to have a home theater to watch movies with our family.
