Homemade Signs
Description | Use materials on hand to create homemade signs. |
Typical Dimensions | Varies. |
Estimated Cost | $10 - $100 for supplies, depending on quantity desired. |
Durability | Demo: 1 day to 1 month installation |
All Projects | Place signs at places of high visibility at key decision points. See section introduction for more information on what to include on your signs. Make sure to scale the text / graphics appropriately so that they may be seen by your intended audience (signs for drivers should be scaled very differently than those intended for people by foot or by bicycle.) |
To attach lightweight, temporary signs to existing street furniture or other vertical elements, punch holes in signs and use zip ties or string for easy removal. | |
If renting traffic barricades, consider posting signs on A-frames. | |
Sandwich board signs are another affordable option and may be borrowed from local businesses who may support the project. |
Create or print in house, or send to local printer for large format printing. |
