Cheap (really cheap) house sign

dcs have a playhouse in the garden. They love it and spend hours in there. I thought it would be nice if they had a sign for it with their names on it. So went hunting - eek! Even the cheapest is about £30. Does anyone know anyone who could/would make one for less? If it's going to cost that much, I'm not going to bother...

what kind of sign do you want ? could you do it yourself with paints and a bit of wood? (artistically of course)

If you get stuck I can do you one for postage (I have done a few pub blackboards and stuff in the past)

we bought individual wooden letters and glued them onto the door
Blue Play house - antique cream lettering.. I think it looks pretty

RiallyEeRiaee...really? Really? I would be beyond thrilled, and I will happily pay you for your time and materials! I was after something fairly basic, that I can put on the front of the playhouse with their names on. "Snicker and Snack's House" with a little painting of a house. That sort of thing. Hadn't really thought about media, was just at the price of even the nastiest acrylic house signs on line.

I can't paint, and my creative skills are highly limited. It would be a disaster. Can I CAT you?

I don't know if you can cat me, you can try. If it doesn't work I'll put my email on

Hopefully I'll have suitable wood and paints left over so it shouldn't cost you anything (then if you don't like what I do neither of us should feel bad)

Tried to CAT you. Think it worked. Check your email, let me know if nothing appears...
