About Our Signs

•Designed and laser-cut in our home studio.
•Made from 1/4" wood.
•Thin, lightweight, and easy to hang.
•All letters within each word are connected, including dots on the letters "i" and "j."
•Fonts may be thickened and connection points added when needed to improve durability and stability.
•Natural wood characteristics such as knots, grain patterns, color variations, and markings are normal and make each piece unique.
•The back of the sign may show laser burn markings from the cutting process. This is completely normal.

Sizing Information

The size you select refers to the longest side of the finished sign, whether that is the height or width.
Examples:
A 20" sign measuring 20" tall × 18" wide is considered a 20" sign because the height is the longest dimension.
A 20" sign measuring 20" wide × 11" tall is considered a 20" sign because the width is the longest dimension.

The final size is always based on whichever side of the design measures the most.

Hanging Your Sign

No hanging hardware is included.
We recommend:
3M Command Strips
Small nails or tacks
Double-sided tape
Floral wire
Fishing line
Magnets (for fabric backdrops)

The best hanging method depends on the surface you are attaching the sign to.

Command Strips
Great for smooth surfaces such as walls, acrylic backdrops, and wood panels.
Easy to remove without damage.

Small Nails or Tacks
Best for wooden arches, walls, and display boards.
One of the most secure hanging methods.

Double-Sided Tape
Works well on smooth surfaces such as acrylic, metal stands, and backdrop boards.
Ideal for lightweight signs.

Floral Wire
Perfect for balloon arches and greenery walls.
Simply attach the sign to the frame or greenery for support.

Fishing Line
Creates a floating appearance.
Tie the line to an arch frame, stand, or backdrop structure.

Magnet Method
Ideal for fabric backdrops.
Glue small magnets to the back of the sign and place matching magnets behind the fabric to hold the sign securely in place.

Finishing Options
Signs can be stained or spray painted if desired.
