To make a sign that will not only attract attention, but also last a long time, you will need the following materials:
- Galvanized iron sheet (tin). Iron must certainly be galvanized to avoid rust. The dimensions of the sheet will depend on the size of the desired sign.
- Several wooden bars. The size and number of bars can be calculated based on the estimated size of the sign.
- Several cans of enamel, used for local painting of cars or any metal surfaces. The quantity and color of spray cans depends entirely on your desire.
- Paper tape.
- Scissors for cutting metal, a hacksaw or a jigsaw, a hammer, a marker or a pencil, small and large nails or screws, an assembly stapler, a clerical (painting) knife.

First of all, from the prepared bars it is necessary to make a simple wooden frame in the form of a frame. Then, from galvanized iron, cut out a sheet 5-10 cm larger than the size of the frame, and “tighten” the frame, carefully hammering all sides, and then attach the iron to the frame using nails, screws or staples.

The next step is to paint the metal surface, after thoroughly cleaning and degreasing it, in the desired background color of the sign. After the paint has dried, cover the entire front side of the workpiece with paper tape, and stick on top of the pre-printed text - each character separately. With a sharp clerical knife, cut the outline of each character and remove the pasted text along with the adhesive tape. Before you is a stencil of an almost finished sign.

It remains to apply the desired color to the stencil, wait until it dries, and then remove the entire adhesive tape. The sign is ready!
