Prom Poster Ideas: DIY
Now we can get into the fun part: The DIY! After looking through the ideas above, I bet you are itching to get your hands on a poster board. Speaking of which, let’s start this off with the supply list!
Supplies
For this DIY, you will need:
- Poster Board
- Markers
- Pencil
- Ruler
Since this DIY is going to be very simple, this is all you really need. But remember, you can always spice up your board as you need, so you can add glue and other things to decorate it when the base is done. Think of this DIY as a jumping off point. You can leave it as is, or you can spruce it up however you like.
Step One
First things first, you, of course, need to come up with your poster idea. Lucky for you, I am pretty sure that part is already done since you have looked through all of the ideas above. Once you have gotten solid on the phrase and theme, you can continue on to the fun part: Decorating the board!
Step Two
Now you need to start writing. This part will take a little bit of setting up if you want your words to come out straight and clean./ First, you need to take your pencil and ruler and use them to create lines across your board. Imagine you wrote out the phrase and mentally calculated how much space you are going to need for each word.
Pick the size of the lettering that will work best with the amount of space on your board and how many words are in the phrase. This is important; pick a max height for your letters and make either another line or some dots over your baseline.
This will help make your writing look super clean and clear. So go ahead and do that now.
Step Three
Lastly, you are going to write out your proposal. Take your time with this; you can use a pencil first; that way, you have more room for error.
After this, you can continue decorating the board, or you can call it done. It is completely up to you, but little arts and crafts never hurt anyone, and chances are it will make your soon to be date feel even more special because you took the time to really go for it. Just some food for thought.
Conclusion
So…are you excited about prom! I bet you are! I hope you loved this list of the top prom poster ideas and that the DIY was helpful. I know writing on a board might seem like a simple thing to do, but it’s a bit trickier once you get into it.
