I love the idea of marquee letters and signs, and according to Pinterest, so does everyone else! The only catch is the real deal vintage letters are few and far between, and most DIY versions involve a crazy amount of steps, weird tools, and too many measurements to actually complete. If you can use a knife, you can make this sign no problem!
Materials needed: Large cardboard letter (JoAnn’s is the best place to find one), X-acto Knife, String Lights, Pen/Pencil, Paint/Markers (optional)
Depending on your time, skill and materials -- you can make a wood pallet background for your marquee letters! (Here is one I found that looks super cute)
Now that you've made your sign, you want to keep replacement bulbs on hand! Moving these things around, something always seems to get broken or dings - there goes your decorations! These lights are great to have on hand for your marquee lights, or honestly - any time you need a light bulb. Just realize these are not as bright as other light bulbs, but depending on the look you're going for (bedroom..wink wink) sometimes you don't want super bright lights anyways.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
