Need some help with a DIY project

RanyattaCasey

Hey Ladies,

I really need some help. I really would like to have this sign at my wedding. I know I can make this but I have no idea where to start.  My colors are coral, navy, and silver. So I am thinking I can incorporate the colors in the sign some how. I just dont know how and where to start making this sign.  Any advice would be very helpful.  Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

What does it say ?...i would say as far as printing to create the wording on your computer using word or publisher. Print it trace it on the fabric then color in. You can get the long wood dowels from michaels, some fabric. Glue the end of the sign around the dowles. If that makes any sense

It says here comes the bride. But I am actually going to change the font because I cant barely read it. But I thought it was a cute idea.

you can get card stock from any craft store joanns, michaels, ac moore, hobby lobby 

like past posters have said make a stencil and transfer it on to the card stock and color it in

I would use a poster board....maybe 2 glued together. Use stencils for the wording or even print out large wording on the computer in a large font and cut them out to paste on poster board. To get the shape of the scroll, you can draw it out lightly on poster board and cut it out. Use dowels from lowe's or Home Depot to attach to it. Paint/spray paint your dowels in one of your colors. I would also put ribbons...like streamers....around the dowels in your colors to add more color to it. Make sure you put a poster board on the backside as well to complete the look. HTH Cha
