I took a piece of 1/4" plywood and cut it to just a little bigger than my sign sizes. (I made one that is 16x20 and one that is 8x10.) If you choose the 8x10 you can just print it at home! I sent mine to Walgreens to get printed since I had a bigger one, and they are a little shinier than I wanted but I think they still turned out great!
I stained the pieces of plywood dark walnut, waited for them to dry and then simply used tacks to attach them to the pieces of plywood. (I did have to cut the tacks off on the back since they were a little too long.)
I used the lyrics from one of my favorite songs, 'Chicken Fried' by Zac Brown Band. There's one specific verse that applies perfectly to the Fourth!
I made a few different versions for you! There's the 'Chicken Fried' one I used, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a horizontal one that just says, 'America: Land of the Free, because of the brave.' Love that saying too!
All you need to do is right-click (or control click if you're on a mac) on the one you want and just go to file: print. I would print it on something a little thicker than regular paper, maybe just plain white card stock. Cut it out and you're good to go! You could even just put it in a 8x10 frame.
