For best results, use a color printer when creating signs.

1. Foam Board Posterboard - Buy one or many 30 inch X 20 inch styrofoam poster boards. These cost about $2.80 and are available at Michaels, Staples, Office Depot, and a number of other locations.
2. Browse - check out the different poster graphics available
3. Download - Click on the downloaded image in your browser and right click, and choose Copy Image or Copy to Clipboard.
4. Load Into Your Software- you can use any number of programs to bring in and print the image file. If you are running Windows, use MS Paint. From the Start button, click Start > Run, and in the text field type MSPAINT and hit Enter. Use Edit | Paste to paste the clipboard image into the MS PAINT window.
5. Print - We've found printing "Landscape" is best, and print at either Normal Quality or High Quality. Photo quality is not necessary. You don't need to do any work splitting up the graphic - your computer and printer will take care of that for you. If using MS PAINT, make sure the scaling is set to 100%, and the margins are set to as small as possible. Click here for more MS Paint instructions.
6. Cut and Trim - The pages (there will be about 9 pages per sign) will have unprinted margins that need to be trimmed. This goes fast once you get the hang of which margins should be cut and where.
7. Tape Together - Once the trimming starts, you can also start taping the sheets together. Use small pieces of clear scotch tape to join together cut and trimmed pieces.
8. Tape to Styrofoam Poster Board - either while trimming and taping, or by itself, you need to affix the whole image to the poster board. Make sure you finish up taping all the edges of the papers once they are all in place.
9. (Optional) Trim and Flagwork - get some 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch flag trim at Michaels, and an inexpensive $3.00 hot glue gun. Glue trim around the poster. Or get some small hand flags and stick the ends into the top of the sign. Or both!
10. Admire Your Work - sit back and appreciate your work. Imagine the good feeling holding up the sign supporting your patriotic viewpoint! If you are so inclined, repeat the process with another image for the other side to have a 2-sided sign!
11. JOIN RALLIES AND BRING FRIENDS- we are all busy leading our lives. However, patriotism and support for our country and laws is more important now than ever before. Try to make as many rallies as possible, and realize the tremendous additional positive impact that can happen if you bring friends along!
