Step 1: The Poles

Shouldn't be too hard. Just the signpoles. If it is too tall, change the gray rods out with a rod of your choice. Repeat!

(If it's flimsy, stabilizers will be made in the next step)

Step 2: The Stabilizers

Now, we get to build the actual stabilizers so it doesn't just flop over! Remember, the back ones have yellows instead of oranges.

Step 3: Sign Outline

We will now build the back part of the sign, the paper will go in between here and the other one. Don't forget, there's another part to this!

Step 4: Repeat, But a Little Bit Different

Combine the sign parts like this twice to create your sign.

Step 5: Sign Stabilizers

Did you notice that your sign is flopping forwards? Fix that with some more stabilizers connecting to the back ones in the second step.

Step 6: Create Your Paper

Create your paper! This will work with most paper sizes, and you can customize it too!

Step 7: Assemble EVERYTHING!

Assemble everything!

Step 8: Insert the Paper

Watch carefully. The bottom of the paper goes in with the gaps on the blue/blue connectors and the top rests against the orange bars. Congrats, you're done!

Step 9: You're Done!
