Instructions:
Get
a roll of white plastic tablecloth, clothes line cord twice the length
of the home and red spray paint. You'll also need a brown paper bag, some
spray cooking oil and an iron. On a large table lay a board to iron
on. On top of that board place a metal house screen. You will place the
two pieces of table cloth on top of the board and screen with a large
piece of brown paper bag on top of the plastic. Spray cooking oil on the
bag to prevent it from sticking. Then iron with the long edge of the iron
moving the iron slowly to seal the plastic together. Test your work and
go over if needed. Make two seams for double assurance of sealing. The
screen creates perforations of sealed plastic. Seal three rows of table
plastic together the length of the house and then lay the clothes line
along the top and bottom and flip over about three inches and seal the
line into the slot made. Seal the sides before sealing the top and
bottom. Tie the sign up on the house and spray paint "Y'ER OUT! W"
Then cut half circle patterns with the flap down every so often and the
wind will not blow it out. Takes about four hours. Want one done?
$300. Spray paint is not permanent, will scratch off. maybe I can find
a better more receptive plastic.
Get
those old campaign yard signs with the plastic over wire and turn the
plastic inside out and paint your slogan. I suggest using lines from protest
songs. We put one in our yard that says, "The Great Warriors Stand
For Peace."
