Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Choose Your Board
Select a wooden board, acrylic sheet, or chalkboard. A3 size works well for most events.
2
Plan Your Layout
Sketch the text layout lightly in pencil first. Include the event name, date, and a welcome message.
3
Letter the Text
Use paint pens or chalk markers to write your text. Start with the largest text first (the event name).
4
Add Decorations
Add small floral illustrations, borders, or greenery around the edges for extra charm.
5
Display Your Sign
Place on an easel, lean against a wall, or hang at the entrance. Add fresh flowers for a final touch.
Safety Notes
Use paint pens in a well-ventilated area.
Waste & Recycling Tips
