I've been wanting to make my own "YOU ARE NOW IN BEDFORD FALLS" sign for years and just never got around to it. Leave it to me to wait until I have two kids running around to think NOW is the time ;) Wanna make one too?
Supplies:
1" x 8" Pine Board (sold at Home Depot in 6' length, for about $15)
Ivory Spray Paint ($5)
Paint Pen in Black ($4)
Picture Hangers ($1)
Saw
(router for optional edge)

- Print the text "YOU ARE NOW IN BEDFORD FALLS" in a font and size that works (I used a font called Enge Holzschrift in font size425).
- Layout text papers on your board to see how long you need the board to be and cut it to that length.
- If you want to, you can cut off the corners and/or router the edges of the board
- Lay the text pages back onto the board how you want them and tape them down.
- Using a pen or other semi-sharp object trace around the outer edge of each letter pressing down enough to leave an indent in the painted board.
- Remove paper and use the paint pen to trace along your indent marks, then use paint and a paint brush to fill in the letters.
- Add a couple of picture hangers on the back of the board. (you'll note in my pictures that I: a) did not cut my board before I painted it, so the edges are unpainted; b)did not attach my hangers yet so mine is merely sitting on the table.)
Time: approx 2 hrs
I love it!
