1. Built a frame, 8’ x 4’ out of 2x2s. Being careful not to block the letters with supports
2. The letters were cut into the adhesive vinyl with a cricut machine
3. Letters were removed from the black backing and carefully laid over the white corrugated plastic.
4. Fluorescent lights were mounted and wired onto the frame.
5. Plastic sheeting was cut to size and stapled to the frames.
6. We ran black electric tape around the edges to cover anywhere light came through.
