Here is another easy DIY! Marquee letters are always nice to have as a house/party decor. I want to create something that represents my fiancé and I. My fiancé loves anything from restoration hardware, whereas I love a mixed of modern and chic. With that in mind, I want the marquee letters to show both of our styles.
C= rustic, woodsy
D= Shabby Chic/Modern
Start off with plain cardboard letters. I got these from Michaels. They are currently 50% off.
Inside each box are lights, bulbs, and a cutout cardboard letter. Make sure to read the instructions on where to insert the lights because it is different for each letter.
With these white cardboard cutouts, it is endless on what you can do to decorate it. For mine, I bought some decorative papers and just gold stickers for the side. Anything gold is my friend. =)
To create the background, I used the thin cutout letter that was in the box. "C" is my fiance's intial and his style is more rustic so I picked this wooden background to represent him. All you need is a pair of scissors, glue, and a x-acto knife.
After cutting out the letter, let's put it together. Do the same with the other letters.
Alright, here is how it looks during the day:
At night with the lights on:
I hope this inspires you to create something you can call your own.
Have fun!
