An easy way to create a stylish, good-sense look is with a chic sign that uses alphabet ornaments from a 100-yen shop.

Cut wood to make the frame that forms the base of the sign, then arrange a message using alphabet letters painted in your favorite colors.

With some creativity in letter placement and color combinations, you can shift the impression from natural to pop.

Hang the frame on the wall with a string, and it becomes a refined decoration that seems to float in the space.

It’s easy to set up both indoors and outdoors, takes little time to prepare, and lets you make a highly polished sign—an idea we highly recommend.

If you haven’t used acrylic paints yet, why not take this opportunity to give them a try?
