Even if you aren't the crafty type, I pinky promise that this is the easiest DIY project on the planet! HOW TO MAKE WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING VOTING SIGNS: You'll Need: Computer Printer 4 Pieces 8.5 X 11 card stock Scissors or paper cutter Tape or glue 8 Craft sticks Directions: 1. Download the Free Wedding Dress Shopping Voting Signs for free right here. Helpful Hints: This is a PDF document that will be emailed to you. So, once you sign up, go check your email. Once you click "download," you will find it wherever your downloads are stored on your computer. 2. Print the document you just downloaded Helpful Hints: Make sure that your printer is set to "landscape" to ensure that the document prints properly. The heavier the stock or thickness of your paper, the better. You can certainly print the signs on plain printer paper and have your bridesmaids or family hold the paper signs up to cast their vote. You do not need to use the craft sticks to make signs! But, if you do want to use the craft sticks to make the signs like I did in the pictures on this blog post, you will need paper that is thicker than regular printer paper, called "card stock," so that the signs don't flop. These voting signs are designed with three different colors (gray, black and blue). If you want to save printer ink, be sure to check "black & white only" on your printer settings. If you don't want to print out the first page of instructions, make sure to set your printer to only print pages 2 - 4. 3. Cut out each sign design Helpful Hints: There are five pieces of paper in the download. The first page is instructions, which you don't need to print out (see hint above). Each page after the first page has two separate voting signs that you will need to cut apart. Cut down the middle and along the gray edges to form a border for your signs. 4. Secure your signs to craft sticks Helpful Hints: This is where you can get creative! But, you don't have to, since this is a DIY project for the non-crafty type! To turn your printed voting cards into handheld signs for your bride tribe to vote, you'll need to attach each card to a craft stick. You may use popsicle sticks, straws, tongue depressors, paint stirrer sticks, and more. For our photos, we used jumbo craft sticks with rounded edges found on Amazon. We taped the sticks to the back of each sign using clear packaging tape. And that's it! So super simple! Just download the signs right here, print and pass them out when you go wedding dress shopping with your bride tribe! ****** Will you promise to send me pictures (info@thegartergirl.com) of you and your bridesmaids and family with the signs!?
