**Here's what you do:**

Before you begin, look at different fonts to get an idea of how you want your letters to look.

- Decide if you want letters to be thin, thick, short, tall, etc. Will you add stripes, polka dots, checks, etc.?
- Try different colored construction paper or markers and a variety of Halloween-themed embellishments. 

Once you have decided what you want your sign to look like, use a yardstick and pencil to lightly draw lines across cardstock to establish the height of letters.

Draw letters onto cardstock with a white pen and add stripes.

Erase pencil lines.

Use Craft Glue Dots to attach googly eyes to letters.
