Step 6:
PAINT. You guys know how to do this step. Choose
whatever color you like (spray painting is an option
too) or add a glitter coat with Mod Podge so the
lights have extra sparkle.
Step 6:
ADD LIGHTS. I love these Martha Stewart LED lights
because they run on battery packs and you don't have
to worry about cords hanging down or having to be
near an outlet. They are also great because the front
bulb cover can be removed and you can just stick the
bulb through from the back and reattach the cover
from the front. And the larger bulb really just works for
the look I'm going for here. There's not really a right or
wrong place to start adding the lights in from the back,
so just pick a spot and start adding! It's also okay if
you have to skip a bulb to make it to the next hole if the
spacing is too far apart on some. I think light-up signs
actually look better when they have a few lights behind
the sign, as they give it an extra glow against the wall.
Use duct tape on the back of the sign to secure any
loose lights or wires that might dangle in sight and to
secure the battery packs.
