Thank you so much for the response! I JUST saw your picture with the hangy-doo dad things, ugh! Sorry for not noticing it the first time. I will be trying this, this weekend :o)

We took a jpg on a thumb drive so they could print it to the size we needed. As for hanging them, we got those little teeth hangers that you can hammer into the back of the wood to hang them (they look like tiny saws with small nails to attach them and they’re around $2 from a craft store like Michael’s). Good luck!

Love these! I am new to handy work as I just moved into my first home and I am a single parent so I have a few questions: 1. How did you attach these to the wall if they were cut from a hardware store (i.e. no holes to hang like typical frames or pictures have) and 2. You mentioned taking whatever you want printed to an office store to enlarge. Do you take the printed picture or o you take a jpeg file on a thumb drive? Sorry if these are stupid questions but I REALLY want to try this! I read through all the comments to make sure you hadn’t already answered. Thanks for all the inspiration!

I love these signs, and have made a ton of art for my house and friends on wood – so cheap and easy. Good idea.

Really interesting how you came up with so much cool and original stuff for your home. It is inspiring, for as an inept handyman, to see ordinary folk being so creative even when they label themselves ‘dorks’.
