Tip for Hanging a Large Sign
Now, here’s a trick from my husband! This is how we hang large wooden signs on the wall. First insert two screws into the back of the board – centered and equally spaced as you would if you were hanging a picture.
Now, you will need what is called a metal transition strip. A metal transition strip is used in the flooring industry to transition two different floor surfaces – like going from carpet to hardwood. You can find them in the flooring section of Lowe’s. Attach this strip to the wall with screws where you want your sign to hang.
Attach it upside down, so the small peak is against the wall. This creates a ridge at the top that will catch your screws on the sign.
I’ve had two other signs in this space that you can see HERE and HERE. We just leave this transition strip attached to the wall so it’s easy to change out signs seasonally or when the mood strikes!
Of course, I had to throw in a photo with Sadie!
Doreen, what a innovative mind you have! Not only did you create something amazing… but you used items from your fridge to do it! And, you took a photo to prove it. Thanks for starting my day with a giggle!
Doreen I need to create such a wonderful label over my bed 🙂 My wife will be so happy 🙂
Love it, the whole space is beautiful. I'm inspired!

Love this! What a cute and clever idea!
Your rope sign is beautiful! And what a genius way to hang the signs over the bed! I must try that!!
Doreen I just love your rope sign – how creative! You've inspired me to make something similar – pinning.
Hi, do you use cornstarch or baking soda? Above, it says baking soda. The page I got this from (Hometalk), it says corn starch. I'm guessing the corn starch but just wanted to make sure. thanks! 🙂
Oh my goodness, Chloe! Thank you so much for pointing this out to me! It's been up that way for a few days now and no one else caught my mistake! I'm changing it right now!
How cool is this! Love it!
Hi Doreen, your word rope sign is just awesone and I really would like to try it, but please excuse my stupidity, but the waxpaper, that you put over the painted board, when does that get removed?
Sue I was wondering the same thing. I love this and want to try it! I'm pretty crafty but I want this to be perfect!
This is so cute! I could do this. Now all I need is rope. Thanks for sharing your tip for hanging large signs.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial! When the rope dries, is it dry enough to hang on a backdrop?
Thank you for sharing. So adorable!!! I was wondering what type of wood you used? Thanks again.
It was a standard pine wood board from Home Depot 10 x 48.
Hello, thank you for this tutorial I just finished it.
For my part, I used a canvas that I painted white and strong glue to fixed the rope.
Hi, I would like to copy your idea today. But I’m wondering when and how do you remove the waxpaper?
You remove the waxed paper once the glue is dry enough that your word stays formed. It should come right off.
So great! I’m thinking of doing this, but as two signs…”Mr.” and “Mrs.”. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great idea!!!
Great DIY tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing ‘this one.
