Learn how to make your own diy wedding welcome sign
Welcome to Signage School!
Have you always wanted to make your own wedding signs? I am here to help! My name is Frankie and I have been a professional wedding sign writer and calligrapher for seven years and I have built a reputation for beautifully made, professional hand-painted wedding signs (if I do say so myself). I have made thousands of signs for couples across the world, and now, for the first time ever, I am showing you exactly how I do it.
I have taken every secret, every supplier, and every technique I have used to make gorgeous wedding signs and packaged them into Signage School. Whether you are a bride or groom wanting to create a stunning piece for your wedding day, or an aspiring creative ready to launch or level up your own wedding business, I am handing you the keys to the studio.
I am opening up my studio doors and sharing seven years of professional experience with you, teaching you how to diy your wedding signs.
Let’s be honest, wedding DIYS can quickly turn into a disaster. And maybe….
You have already tried a project and the pens bled or the wood was bad quality
You don’t know how to get your design to print large scale
You are stressed and you don’t have time to mess about with trial and error pieces
You don’t know how to get your design transferred onto your materials
You are trying to save money and it’s cost you loads already in the wrong materials
You want to enjoy this instead of it being a burden for your wedding day
You just have no clue where to start or what to buy
Or perhaps you are a budding artist who wants to start a business, but you are terrified of wasting money on the wrong materials or "faking it" until you make it.
This is exactly where I come in. After seven years of trial, error, and eventually perfecting the art of professional signage, I have built ‘Signage School’ to be the shortcut I wish I had when I started. I have already done the hard work of testing every pen, every material, and figuring out how to make a home printer do exactly what you need to DIY. I am stepping into your workspace to take away the guesswork, replacing that wedding DIY stress with the actual joy of creating something beautiful.
Think of me as your personal mentor, guiding you through every step and helping you create the most beautiful DIY wedding welcome sign. Whether you are a bride-to-be wanting to save your sanity or a creative looking to build a profitable business with a professional edge, I am giving away all of my secrets. You won't just be watching a video; you will be following a professional system that ensures your very first sign looks just as polished as the ones you have been pinning to your mood boards.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH
I have created two ways for you to learn, depending on your goals:
The personal license - Perfect for DIY couples. This is for those who want to create signs for their own wedding. It is a lower price point and gives you all the knowledge you need for your big day. The signs created are for one time use.
The business license - This is for the entrepreneurs. It includes a commercial license certificate which grants you authorisation to use my specific methods and techniques to create and sell signs for your own business. It is an investment in your future career (and you can of course expense it!)
HELP, GUIDANCE AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
A steady hand and a little patience, that is it! You do not need to know calligraphy or any specific skills, it is super easy.
-
All of the links and companies in my supplied lists are from the U.K. However, basic materials like acrylic can be found in so many countries. Simply search on Google in your own country for the name of the pen or material. I give thorough descriptions above for each and they won’t be hard to find in different countries.
-
You do not need the Pro version of Canva (yay!). I don’t currently have a sole Canva tutorial, however if you need help with designs, I have lots to choose from in my Etsy shop. Head back there to choose one!
-
For life, yay!
-
I have a personal use option and a commercial license option in my Etsy shop. As long as you have purchased the commercial license option in my Etsy shop, you are covered to use these techniques and methods for your own business and will receive a certificate. Proof of commercial licence will be asked so make sure to keep your Etsy receipts and your certificate.
-
The length of time depends on a few things, how many mistakes you may (or may not!) make, whether you have all your materials purchased and ready etc. The videos are around 20 minutes long, but allow 1 hour at least to complete your signs to take the pressure off.
