I love this because you can use it for a baby shower, a bridal shower OR a girl’s party of any kind. Or like a Ryan Gosling tribute party?(Print those in color on 1. Thanks!)Back to my yard art. I wanted to show you how I created the sign because I think I’m a freaking genius for doing it, and I was so pleased at how well it worked out. In fact I was setting up the sign in my friend Susan’s yard for the party, and her husband was there and witnessed me congratulating myself when it was erected and perfect. And he said, “No offense but you stuck a sign in the ground, it’s not that big of a deal!
I’ve basically changed outdoor parties for good. And I didn’t know if the poles would hold the sign up, or if it would have the impact I wanted. So what I’m saying is, I’m a yard sign pioneer and yes, yes, I AM proud of it! These yard signs have SO many applications! A kid’s party, a backyard BBQ–a playdate at the park that’s a special occasion and you want ONE fun thing to make it feel that way. So versatile! You could paint them as simple or patterned as you like, or glue pom poms on them!?

I’d die.) And I especially like this project because you can create this, and have hardly any other decor, and still get that UMPH factor. Kind of like balloons. Balloons just make everything feel festive! Sure, sure there are some understated party people out there, and you could even make this all sleek and black if you wanted, but I love a WOW and with this you’re gonna get it. We used these signs at the actual party, but then this week I wanted a couple more pictures of them, so I conned Heather into, “Letting me use her backyard.
And when she agreed I decided I wanted to show you how EASY and special these would look, even without the flowers and place settings, and I just grabbed some pillows and a blanket from my house and a few things I had at Club Alison. You can throw a party no sweat! Now that I’ve sold you on the signs are you READY? MATERIALS/INSTRUCTIONS LETTERS TO USE AS STENCILS: You can create these signs for ANY phrase, but for HEY GIRL I printed large oversized letters to use as stencils. I did this by printing 3 oversized prints (they are about $8 each) that had the letters on them. I wanted them HUGE. I placed them all skiwampus to be space efficient.
I have a video on oversized printing right here! But basically you email Staples or Office Max the files (the ones you download from me!) I use Staples because they print 4. It’s like super thick poster board (with foam in the core. In a perfect world I’d be able to find 4. So if you print the “Hey Girl” letters from me I made it so you could fit the letters on three 4.
If you don’t have a cutting mat use some old cardboard and be careful of your table, if you don’t have an acrylic ruler BUY ONE. OR just use a regular one. Make sure your xacto blade is sharp when you cut or your life will be annoying.
And you will think, “Damn you Alison! This was supposed to be easy!” And to that I’d say, “Is your blade sharp?” In an annoying tone or, “Bet you wish you’d ordered that acrylic ruler, huh?”PAINT / PAINTBRUSH: I used Tempera paint and a thick paint brush. I used that paint because it gave me the most NEON pink. But any paint will do! WOODEN DOWELS: I used 1. Hey Girl,” I got them at Home Depot, I think they are 3/8? But I show my finger for comparison here because I want you to see how thick they are (and so you can admire my mani).
If you get them too thin they won’t hold the sign up! They are about $1 each.
But you can always take them off these signs and use them again! DUCT TAPE: Obviously it’s great when the duct tape matches your party! INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Loosely tape the letters, whether you print them or draw them, onto the foam core. I would not draw directly on the foam core. It’s expensive! You don’t want to mess it up! If you draw the letters draw them on paper so you can erase (you don’t want erase marks on your finished sign) and then tape the paper down on the edges.
I like to use washi tape because it’s not that sticky. Cut the letters out by slicing hard through the foam core holding the blade up against the edge of your ruler. Nad Pathfinder Uniform Patch Placement.
For round shapes be bold, but cut in 5 inch sections. OR approximately I mean it’s not a freaking science.
I cut out one letter at a time, then retaped the paper each time to maximize space. Once you’ve cut out all the letters get yourself a snack! You need a snack. Paint the edges of the letters or decorate them however you like! Once the letters have dried duct tape the dowels to the letters.
For wide letters (H, G, R) I used two dowels. Now it’s time to party! Try your hardest to muscle the letters into the ground. Some grass is easier than other grass. If your grass is being impossible find a sharp object to get you started. I tried to muscle one sign and broke the dowel.
If that happens use clear packing tape to save your sorry self. Do a celebratory dance, tell your friend’s husband to shut up, and then make all your friends pose behind your labor of love!!! Or randomly set it up in your friend’s yard as a pick me up! HEEEEYYY GIRL! I hope you loved this!
I hope you do this! I hope you never ever ever leave me. Kidding on that last one. Always always let me know if you use my tutorials because it makes me giddy! Email me a picture, or tag me on Instagram @thealisonshow! Other than that happy weekend!
Happy party planning! And lot’s of love. Alison. IMAGES BY HEATHER MILDENSTEIN.
