See your name in lights with a DIY light-up sign!
I've always wanted a Cut Out + Keep light-up sign for my craft space, so I finally decided to make one!

Step 1I started by making paper templates of my letters. I literally traced the Cut Out + Keep letters off the site using my laptop as a light-box.
Stick them on your wall beforehand to see how your sign is going to look and that you've made them the right size.
-
Step 2
Trace around your paper letters on to thick frosted plastic and cut out.
-
Step 3Cut strips of paper, so that they're as wide as you'd like the depth of your finished letters. Fold the strips around the plastic and fold at the edges.
-
Step 4Trace around your strips on to thick black card and score along the folded edges, to create flaps.
-
Step 5Glue the card together, to form the shape of the letter.
-
Step 6Glue around the inside edge of the black card and place your frosted plastic letter inside. Hold in place until the glue dries and the plastic is secure.
-
Step 7Make the rest of your letters. Some are trickier than others but you'll get the hang of it.
-
Step 8You can then hang your letters on the wall and light them up on the inside using LED fairy lights.
We attached ours to a pegboard wall and punched the fairy lights through from behind to hind any untidy cables.
