You can also enlarge and print the letters on your computer then transfer to your surface using good old fashioned carbon paper or this method. There are all kinds of fancy machines out there to help you out in this department if needed. I am fortunate that I was blessed with decent penmanship so I just went for it. You could wait to paint after you drill your holes, it’s up to you.Īfter painting, I sketched out my words. I had my honey cut it out for me using a jig saw. Then I cut it to create a shape that was equal on both sides and top to bottom. I folded the newspaper in four and drew my outline. For this sign, I used three 70 count red light sets and one 100 count green light set.)įirst, decide the shape of sign you want to create. mini light sets ( The number of sets will depend on how big your sign is and how many letters it has.Drill and 13/64 drill bit (sounds like an odd size but that’s what worked best).3/8″ ply wood (thick enough to be sturdy but not so thick that the lights won’t show through the other side).He creates a spectacular outdoor display every year and he calls it, “Tinsel Town”, so we thought this would be the perfect gift!
I’m going to show you step by step using this sign we made for my brother-in-law for Christmas. Making the sign was pretty easy and would be a fun addition to any outdoor holiday display, so I thought I’d share how I made it! The most important component of our Santa’s Workshop is the sign that let’s everyone know what it is. When I was deciding what I wanted to create to share for my holiday sign, I remembered I already had the perfect project all wrapped up and ready to go! I first shared this last year, but my blog was brand new, so it was probably only seen by a about ten people, thanks to my family and friends 🙂 Enjoy! I can’t believe we are already at week eleven of our sixteen week Get Your DIY on Party Challenge! This week’s theme is Holiday signs…fun theme, right?
