Paper Lawn signs
Difficulty: Very Easy
Parental supervision is recommended
Remember the old signs along the highways? Craft some fun ones with your kids to put on the lawn for parties or other events.
What you'll need:
- Lawn care signs/sticks
- Poster board
- Hole punch
- Scissors
- Pencil or pen
- Markers (use permanent markers if rain is possible)
- Other decorative items such as ribbons, feathers, beads, etc.
- Tacky glue or double stick tape
- Tacky glue, if using decorative items
How to make it:
- Remove the signs off the sticks.
- Trace around the sign onto the poster board. Be sure to also trace the hole. Repeat for as many signs as you wish to make.
- Cut out the signs.
- Hole punch on the marked area.
- Decorate the signs with markers or other decorative items.
- Let dry.
- Use tape or tacky glue to adhere the poster board to the lawn care signs for extra durability.
- Let dry if using glue.
- Assemble the signs.
- Arrange the signs down a driveway or yard so they can be read as people, or the recipient, drives by!
Tips:
One family went around and asked people if they could have their lawn care signs. No one turned them down and now they have quite a few! They made these signs for their niece's birthday. Their son used Crayola's Changeables Markers to create the look you see in the pictures.
You can also tie on helium filled balloons to the signs to gather more attention to your signs. Have fun coming up with new ideas in ways to use these signs. Don't forget Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, or just any day to make someone smile!
