How To Make Fourth of July Decor:

Step 1: Cut and sand wood

First, cut the wood to the proper size needed. (Sand if needed as well)

Step 2: Assemble your wood design and support it

Second, add support by assembling the wood into the shape you’d like and secure with wood screws.

Step 3: Paint with color choice

Then, paint your piece of choice with a light coat of Cobalt Blue.

Step 4: Add hand lettering in constrasting color

Next, add hand lettering to your 4th of July sign by marking the center of the wooden piece. Draw letters out lightly with pencil (about 3 inches apart). Paint in letters with Cotton.

Step 5: Shade the lettering for a 3-d effect

After that, for optional letter shading, use your permanent marker. Simply, use your marker first to mark the areas you want to have a shadow and then fill that in with the permanent marker.
