If you don`t want poorly handwritten signs for your business/ event or whatever,
but can't afford (or are to cheap to buy ) a store made one - this is the instructable for you!

You'll be able to use any letter-style and size

Step 1: Materials

- a piece of plywood or whatever you want to use - cut in the desired  shape and  size

- a paint roller
- paintbrushes suitable for fine lines
- some sheets of A4-paper
- a printer
- carbon paper- one sheet

- tape

For changeable date:
laminate pouches

Very good looking signs! This took me back to my youth, when I painted signs, but we didn't have computer for letter styles and drew them by hand. I like the new way much better, really.

thank you!
it's much easier with the printed letters - i'm useless in "freestyling" a nice looking text :)
It took me a while, until i thought on using carbon-paper - i cut the letters out to trace them, before - not really fast worked :)
