Step 1: Making Guides and Templates. This step is a tiny bit of up front work that is going to make things way easier later in the project. We're going to make a few wooden blocks to use as guides. First, we cut four 2-5/8" long blocks out of some scrap 2x4s. These will hold up the letters to the correct height for nailing in the metal flashing ...

1/4 sheet of 1/2″ MDFJigsaw1/2″ Paddle Drill BitStep 1
If you have access to a projector one of the fastest ways to make sure your letters have the shape you want is to project the letters onto a sheet of wrapping paper and trace around it. I wanted to have 24″ tall letters and unfortunately, I was not able to move the projector quite far enough away from the wall for the image to be large enough to trace. Since the & was supposed to be 18″ tall the projector worked perfectly. To create the pattern for the actual letters I used wrapping paper tha...
Use a marker to transfer the letters onto your MGD wood. I first cut the letters out of wrapping paper and taped them onto the board. This allowed me to determine if I had enough space to cut everything out of just the 1/4 sheet of wood.
Use a jigsaw to cut the letters out. The staff at Home Depotsuggested that we use a 10 tooth blade to make just that the MGD wood did not split of fray. Jigsaws do not turn easily so making curves or angles is a lot more difficult then you would think and sometimes you have to cut out small pieces to remove the larger parts.
Measure how far apart you’d like your lights to be and mark the locations you plan to drill with a pencil. For our letters I placed the lights 3″ apart. Since I only had one chance to drill the holes this was a step I was very careful with. Next use a hand drill and 1/2″ paddle drill bit to cut out the holes where your lights will go. Make sure to ...
Paint the letters. I used silver paint because that is one of our wedding colors but traditionally Marquee letters are painted red. Make sure as you are painting that you cover the edges well.
Insert the lights into the holes. With 1/2″ holes you will need to unscrew each bulb and play with the placement to make sure you are have enough cord without creating a tangled mess on the backside of the letters. For the 2 large letters and one small letter I used 2 – 25 bulb strings of lights. The Room Essential lights from Targetare perfect for...
