How to make School Student Achievement Lawn Signs

The best part is how inexpensive these signs are to make. JoAnne (Head Over Heels) used her Cricut to make the signs. A Cricut is a great way to add vinyl to these signs you can use signs (like these!) or even from Lowe’s. This would be great if you were making for one classroom. I like how you can extra details that would be great special for your classroom.

If you were making these for a school or for multiple teachers, I went with the printing option. The cost of supplies vs. shipping and vinyl made the most sense. You can design and as long as it is saved as 300 dpi get it printed from many places.

Imprint.com was the cheapest option after shopping around. I was very happy with their customer service and updates – when it was printed, when it was shipped, and more! The quality was also superior! The stands are even larger than I imagined (although the dimensions were there – it is tough for me to visualize.
