diy halloween marquee sign

Halloween· Holiday

11 Oct

Earlier this week we showed our easy Halloween porch decor.  We basically decided against everything DIY and instead opted for some adorable pre-packaged goodness.  And if you know us, that doesn’t happen often!  We have our share of banners and decor but buying a cute set was totally worth our time.  And since you DO know us, you know we had to throw in one good DIY…our DIY Halloween marquee sign, isn’t she adorable??  We call her a she because she is purple and my 5 year old daughter is obsessed with purple…in fact her soccer team is the purple people eaters so this can be our purple people eater sign (;  Where were we??….oh yes, the tutorial.  You can totally make this too! 

DIY | EEK marquee Halloween sign, so cute! Looking for easy Halloween decor? This Halloween craft is a must make!

Supplies:

  • Pine wood (we got ours at Home Depot for $9, 12″ x 4′)
  • 2 paint colors (we used DecoArt ‘Snow White’ acrylic + ‘Black Pearl’ Dazzling Metallic)
  • Foam brush
  • Command Outdoor Products

Directions for the painted sign:

  • For the EEK marquee letters, click HERE (we shared that tutorial last year).
  • Start by painting your board white (just follow the stripe step-by-step that we shared for our reindeer head glitter art)
  • Tape off stripes.
  • Paint exposed lines of the wood black.
  • Peel off paint to reveal striped pattern.

To attach the EEK marquee letters:

  • Drill 2″ hole in bottom of striped wood (to fit plug) .
  • OR you can string lights ahead of time and feed it through for a 1″ hole.DIY | EEK marquee Halloween sign, so cute! Looking for easy Halloween decor? This Halloween craft is a must make!

Really easy!!  Your only tools were a drill + drill bit for that one hole (and you could always tuck it behind if you don’t want to drill).  Here is our EEK marquee sign all lit up, proudly displayed on my porch and ready to welcome trick or treaters.

    Wow, this turned out so great! I love your sense of Halloween decor. It’s a little unexpected and not too in-your-face Halloween-y, if that makes sense. The porch is so festive and cute, love it!
