Merry & Bright Marquee Sign

I am super excited to share this project with you guys! Christmas is right around the corner and I have a few projects I want to accomplish. I can now check this one off my list.

First I traced my letters onto a thick piece of poster board. My husband then cut them out for me since he has the patience to do that haha

 You need a 2' x 4' piece of wood and a 1" x 10' piece. Cut the 1" x 10' to boarder the back of your 2' x 4' this will hide all of your wires and make your sign look polished an finished. I decided to spray my sign white but you could choose any color that fits your home.

 Once the letters were cut out I coated them in mod podge and sprinkled glitter on them. This is probably the hardest part. It isn't very hard necessarily but it is time consuming if you're like me and want your letters to look nice and thick with glitter. Turn your letters upside down to sprinkle off the excess but know that you can reapply the mod podge again and add more glitter once your letters are dry.

 Once our letters were dry we used wood glue to attache the letters to our board.

 Let the letters dry over night then you can drill your holes where you want your lights, string the lights through the back, tape down the cords so you won't be able to see them and you're finished! Isn't this the cutest Christmas sign ever!? Just a few more weeks and I will show you what it looks like with my Christmas decorations yay!
