Let's Hear It For The Boyd
I don't have any diagrams but have made a sh*tload thru my late teens..
This is how i made them. I took my time and did it over 2-3 days.
DAY1
Step1 - draw the sign on a piece of paper to see what your design will look like.
Step 2 - get yourself some white material from spotlight or something.
Step 3 - cut out the material to suit your design.
Step 4 TRACING
- work out how much space you want on the outline, around the edge of the sign. there will also be a smaller space in between the letters. Then with the space you have for the letters, work out how many cms each letter should be based on the number of letters. make any i's smaller.
Important Note - on the sides leave an extra 10-12cms or so depending on the size of the poles that you're using. You will sew that later to fit the poles in.
- I then created boxes via pencil for all the letters.
Step 5 SKETCHING
- in the letter boxes, sketch your letters using pencil.
DAY 2 PAINTING (Get some solid red paint, no fairy sh*t)
I used a massive table and smashed it with newspaper all over.
Step 6 - using electrical tape stick on your white material that has been sketched already with the letters.
Step 7 - Start painting. I usually stopped about 6-7mms from the outline as the paint would seep out if you know what i mean.
Step 8 - Once painting is finished i hung the sign up on a line to dry for atleast a day.
DAY 3 OUTLINING-POLES
Your sign should be dry now.
Step 9 - using one of those thick black texters start outlining around the painting.
Step 10 - You need to sew ends for the poles. That extra space you will sew including sewing the top so the poles don't go thru.
Step 11 - Insert your poles and using some white electrical tape - tape the bottom of your sign to the poles. The top of the pole is secured by the extra sewing up top.
Thats it. About 3 days if you take your time. Of course you can do it a lot quicker these days but that's what I did and I made about 6-7 signs including Choc Full of Magic.
Good Luck
i've been to dell and back.
