Making A Sign: The Wrong Way

and the right way.  I had this wonderful brain storm for a shop sign.  I have lots of ice cream bucket lids and they never seem to equal the number of buckets I have.  So I gathered eight lids.

And painted them

Not exactly the order this should be done.

I trimmed the edge off so I would have a flat surface.

Again, NOT the order in which this should be done.

Here's where my idea is headed.

Cut a letter, attach magnetic tape, attach said letters to metal sign.

Once again, this is not the way to do this.

First cut your letters

then paint

then add strips of magnetic tape

to the back

not the front.

The sticky will pull the paint off

and how will the letter work with the magnet on the front???

Do not draw the letter on the back...

it will be backwards!

Draw the letter on the paint 

that should not have been there yet.

Attach the tape to the BACK of the letter

Remember to turn the letters over

and 

THEN

paint them

somewhere you do not want the letters to show 

on the ground!!!

Now the metal sign is changeable

and is hammered to China in the ground.

So you can take the letters in

when the day is done.

I'm afraid I spelled it wrong!

I have added dark green to my techno-colored hands

while this guy laughed

the entire time!
