Homemade Signs for Advertising

[JoanneS]

Hey all - I need of craft expertise wondered if you have any advise/suggestions for me re: the following:

I wanted to home-make some Signs with my business name etc. for advertising my business on my bicycles which I plan to park at strategic locations in my local area. I have acquired some waterproof cardboard to use as the base of the signs but I don't just want to write or paint on them directly without a template as I want them to look consistent and professional.

The letter templates in the shops are very limited in terms of font and size so I would like to either purchase a customised template or make one that I could use to attach to the signs and then paint in the template holes. Can anyone advise on the best way to obtain/produce such a template (e.g. if homemade what tools should I get)? Or alternatively if u have any other suggestions on how best to make the signs I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks! xxx

Hi JoanneS

I just posted a response to your other thread. You're likely to fall foul of the planning advertising regulations doing this. Strict liability offence and potentially a criminal matter.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I'd avoid this style of advertising.
