@sugarr2518: Thanks! My FFIL is making us a few life size thought bubbles for our guests to write on but I thought these were fun just to use as props. Suuuuper easy to make too!
I'm not exactly well versed in carpentry lingo but from what I gather he's just going to cut the thought bubbles out of ply wood using one of his fancy saw thingamajigs and then cover them with chalk board finish. According to FFIL it's a "piece of cake". Maybe for him! I'd probably lose a couple fingers! We won't have these done for a few months but I'll definitely post a DIY when they're complete.
OH.....neat! My FH has a couple different saws...i wonder if he could do it..hmmm!!! Also chalk board finish is that paint or where would you get it? Thanks so much:):)
@LizzieMo: I have a template for the 'staches but I drew the glasses freehand (hence why it's not quite symmetrical). PM me your email address and I'll send you the 'staches. :)
I still have a few more props to make but I think this is a good start...

posted by sugarr2518 11 months agoThe stuff we're using is kinda like spray paint but I believe they sell actual paint as well. Craft stores carry it.
posted by UpstateCait 10 months agoI'm going to make these! Do you have templates for the mustaches and glasses? IF so, can you please send this way?
If you want to make the signs that you can write on simple and easy..
You can use the same idea with the talk bubble created on word and print on cardstock... just laminate it and use dry erase markers!
