Also, with the price of plexiglass so high, is there a better alternative? Plexiglass will weigh it down significantly. Did you make yours one continuous rainbow or was it divided in order to have multi rolls of colored tape shine simultaneously.

LED strip lighting won't shine through muslin much right? Or am I crazy?There are tons of threads here about backlight materials; do some searching. I always come in with a plug for Coroplast (a sign material). You could also use a number of fabrics, including muslin. I've had good luck sizing muslin with a mix of Flexbond glue to make a diffusion material that hides point sources.
As for other options, a buddy of mine just built some light boxes into a piece of scenery and found some stuff at Walmart that worked well. It's like very thin quilt batting, I'm not sure I'm getting the name right because batting is usually pretty thick and fluffy, but this stuff is about as thin as wax paper, but fabric. Imagine translucent weed cloth for landscaping that's white.
