It’s hard to see friends leave for far off adventures, but at least you can send them off in style! We made this giant letter backdrop for a Bon Voyage party. It’s an easy way to make a big impact with a small budget. You can even customize the message to suit any occasion. See the DIY below!

Materials Needed: Projector, computer, 19″ x 25″ cardstock sheets (in rainbow colors), ruler, pencil, gaffer’s tape

Step 1: Make a PDF document with the phrase you want to display. Mirror the image so the text reads backwards.

Step 2: Tape a large piece of paper on the wall and project a letter from your phrase onto it. Trace the mirrored letter onto the piece of paper. Repeat with the remaining letters. If you don’t have access to a projector, you can have the letters sent to your nearest Kinkos to print.

Step 3: Cut the letters out using an X-acto knife and ruler.

Step 4: Apply the letters to the wall using loops of gaffer’s tape. You’re ready to party!
