Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Wood sign
• Needle-nose pliers
• Wire cutter
• Drill and bit
• Length of wire (22-gauge)
• Tape measure
• 1 Nail

1. Drill one hole in each upper corner of the wooden sign. The holes must be large enough to allow the wire to pass through them.

2. Measure the distance between the holes drilled in Step 1. Add 4 inches to this measurement. Cut the wire to this measurement.

3. Insert one wire end into one of the drilled holes from the back of the sign. Extend the end of the wire 1.5 inches through the hole to the front of the sign.

4. Stretch the other end of the wire across the back of the sign to the other drilled hole. Insert it through the hole to the front of the sign and extend the end of the wire 1.5 inches out to match the other side.

5. Use the needle-nose pliers to curl both wire ends around into a spiral shape to secure the wire ends into the sign.

6. Pull the wire on the back of the sign up slightly in the center to create a hanger for the sign.

7. Insert the nail into the wall in the desired place for the sign and loop the wire over the nail to hang the wooden sign.
