Happy Holidays Sign

Please be patient as I will create an "How To make a Happy Holidays sing"

This How To has been put together to assist you in making a Happy Holidays sign. The sign that I am creating will be just large enough to display the words Happy Holidays. It will be a total of 10 feet long and aprox 24 inches tall. This is also designed to be self supporting. I will be putting this sign on the roof of my house and each letter will be a seperate channel.

Materials list

3 sections of 10' 3/4" PVC pipe to make the following:
1 3/4" x 10' section (for top of sign)
2 pieces - 3/4" x 11" PVC (for sides of sign)
2 pieces - 3/4" x 59" PVC (for bottom of sing
2 pieces - 3/4" x 15" PVC (for legs)
4 pieces - 3/4" x 24" PVC for base stabilizers

You will also need to purchase:

Zip ties
2 - 3/4" 90 degree PVC fittings
5 - 3/4" "T" connectors ( all openeing are 3/4")
2 cans of black spray paint
Snap-N-Glow plastic letter/light molds found online at

Assembly

This is assuming you have already cut the pieces to lenght that are outlined above.

take a 10' section of PVC pipe and put a 90 degree connector on each end. continue by inserting the precut piece of 3/4" x 11" PVC in to the other end of each of the 90 degree connectors. Please a "T" connector on the other end of the 11" piece. Take the 2 pre-cut 59" pieces and connect then together using a "T" connector. Place this piece and insert it in to the "T"s placed on the other portion of the frame.

Take and connect 14 of your Snap-N-Glows together (13 for letters and 1 for the space between words)and note that the plastic has labeled front and back. Lay the Snap-N-Glow section inside the PVC Frame that we made and ensure that the BACK is facing up (This is so we do not see the Zip Ties). Using zip ties, tie the Snap0N-Glow pieces to the PVC pipe. Each section of Snap-N-Glow will use 4 Zip Ties.
