DIY Lighted Marquee Sign
This year I’m part of Elmer’s Craft-It Crew, which means Elmer’s sends me awesome stuff and I get to play with it! This month they sent me this cool purple foam core board, and I knew exactly what to do with it: make my own DIY lighted marquee sign!
A DIY project that involves lighting might seem a little complicated, but it’s actually simpler than it looks. I have detailed step by step instructions below with pictures for every step, so don’t worry; you can do it! And the coolest thing is, you can make your marquee sign in any shape you want – an arrow, an ampersand, letters, or anything else you can think of! The Elmer’s foam core board comes in a bunch of fun colors (though I think purple is the best!), so you can make your marquee sign in any color you want!
DIY Lighted Marquee Sign
Here’s what you need:
- Elmer’s purple foam core board (also available at Michaels)
- X-acto knife
- box cutter
- black poster board
- string of globe lights
- pencil
- ruler
- tape
Note: I used these light bulbs because I like the way the filament looks, but they are not LEDs so they get warm if you leave them on too long! If you plan to leave your marquee plugged in for a long period of time, consider getting LEDs so the bulbs don’t get too hot!
