Vinyl signs.

I'm making signs for work and it's exciting to know that all the extra vinyl my aunt gave me several years ago is coming in handy. I'm almost out! I may need to purchase my own stockpile of vinyl, as I'm nearly out of all the good colors. And yes, I have to cut out each letter by hand. It's a lot of work, but I like it. 


This is the template that I used to create the first sign. I altered the letters a bit as they were too detailed to hand-cut on a small scale. This sign was either 24 or 25 inches square.
 

I made another that says 'Movies' and am going to be starting a third soon that says 'Faculty Publications'. Since I'm running out of colors, I'm kind of glad there will be a lot of lettering to do. I'll have less space for the stripes so I can make the most of the colors I have left. After that one, I think I'll be done unless I can scrounge up some more vinyl.
