DIY Marquee Letters | How to

We built our first set of these DIY marquee letters for our wedding, and it was actually the first DIY project we ever did together, so they hold a special place in our hearts.👇 materials & links below! 👇

They’re made of wood and metal so they’re sturdy, but very easy to put together even if you’re a beginner. They’d be great for a wedding, engagement shoot, baby shower, or as home decor (we have ours in our living room and they make us happy!)

More thoughts on these DIY marquee letters: Wow, these were so much easier to make the second time around! Not that they were any more difficult of a project the first time, it's just before we were working on a tiny apartment balcony and we didn't have a nail gun.

But even if you don't have a nail gun, this is still a really DIY-friendly project. Depending on the drill and jig saw you buy, it's still cheaper to buy the tools and materials needed than to buy or rent marquee letters this big. Plus the metal siding and wood combination makes them look awesome and they're really sturdy. And the globe lights give such a nice glow.

We absolutely loved how these marquee letters looked at our wedding, and they're still one of our favorite things we've ever made.
