DIY Wooden Letter Sign

Over the past 18 months I have been attending the occasional market promoting my business, MikaelaBeth. At first I started with just a laminated sign with my logo pinned to the front of the table, but I wanted something more... and this is what I came up with.  A sign like this would be perfect for so many different purposes - at a wedding, in a kid's room, for Christmas etc.Here's how you can create your own:You'll need:Wooden Letter (these are the one's I used)Spray Paint in your chosen colour (I used White Knights 'Magenta')Tiny Screw EyesDrill1mm Drill BitStringIn a well ventilated area or outside give your letters a coat or two of paint until completely covered, allow drying time between coats and before turning over to paint the other side.When the stain is completely dry, plug in your drill, hold it like a gun, and rev it a few times (just for fun).Next grab your 1mm drill bit, and drill holes in the top of each letter. For narrow letters drill one hole in the top center, and for wide letters (like M or K) you’ll want two holes in the top so they hang straight.After drilling, twist a screw eye into each hole.Lay the letters out on the floor in the correct order and space them the way you want them to hang. Unwind a length of string long enough to connect all the letters, plus a bit extra on each end.Thread each letter onto the string one and at a time, knotting them in place. Make sure the letters are spaced evenly as you go along. If a letter hangs crooked, you can twist the screw eye to adjust the angle.Here it is in place on my market stand and I love how it looks.
