Easy & Fun SPEECH Sign for under $10

As we all start thinking about getting our rooms ready this year I thought I’d share a fun little craft I’ve had on my mind for quite some time-a SPEECH sign. I see a lot of teachers with their adorable classrooms decorated in even more adorable signs (bought from Etsy) and I wanted one too-just not the Etsy price tag. I made this little guy for under $10. Can I get a Woo Hoo?! I love this sign. It makes me happy just looking at it. You could also do one for READ, VOCABULARY, LANGUAGE or just about anything.

 

Here’s what I did:

I bought the letters at Walmart for $1 a piece. Okay, so we’re up to $6 now. Then, I bought a picture dictionary book in the bargain bin for under $4. These types of books are everywhere. You could probably even grab one for cheaper at Goodwill.

 

 

Get your supplies ready:

You’ll need your letters, your book, decoupage glue, scissors and a pencil. Oh and a newspaper if you’re messy like me 🙂

Place your letters on the corresponding dictionary page (S goes with s-words) and trace and cut them out.

 

Here’s where it gets fun (and sticky). Slather a generous amount of decoupage glue on each letter and stick the letter cut-out on top. And…if you’re weird like me, slather a little on your hand (on accident of course!) just so you can peel it off later.

 

Just look at that beautiful, sticky mess.

 

Cute, easy AND inexpensive? Love it!
