How to Decorate Street Signs in Neighborhood for Christmas

Decorating your neighborhood street signs for the holidays requires municipal permission.

Decorating the streets in your neighborhood for the holidays builds a camaraderie among residents and adds a festive touch to the area. To draw the lawn and home decorations together, include the street signs. Be sure to get permission from the proper authorities to add decorations to the public street signs and never obscure the street names with decorations.

Things You'll Need

• Garland or wide, outdoor use ribbon
• Tape (weatherproof)
• Scissors
• Extra large cable wraps or heavy wire or string
• Wreaths

Instructions

1. Tape one end of the garland or ribbon on the street sign pole near the ground.

2. Wrap the garland or ribbon up and around the pole, leaving space between the wrappings.

3. Trim off the excess garland or ribbon and tape the end down when you reach the base of the sign.

4. Tape garland or ribbon around the edges of the sign. Be careful to not cover any portion of the street name or block numbers on the sign.

5. Hang a wreath from the bottom of the street sign. Insert two cable wraps, heavy wire or string into the center of the wreath and around the street sign. Tie the wire or string or tighten the cable wraps so the wreath hangs under the street sign. Adjust the wraps or wires to not hide any of the letters on the street sign name.
