Did you just mount a crap ton of them around the perimeter to hold the LED strip? I'd think one would be needed every couple of inches to make the curve, and keep it from being visible in the interior details. That would work for someone (like me) that doesn't have a ring roller!

I used about 10 of the self adhesive ladders, I mounted the led sideways as it wouldnt stick and bend the way I wanted. You can cut them every 3 LED though and then use a LED joiner to head around the circle.

I did a 48" Tree Of life like this one. It was hanging in a music venue Joliet Illinois with the color changing LED's that dance to music. You can get them on Amazon for around $15 shipped. I use a 1.5" of 14 GA or similar to weld all the way around to stand off the wall to keep the light inside and stick the LED's to it all the way around the inside. https://www.facebook.com/electrifiedfab ... 008019882/
