Get your name in lights with this simple marquee letter DIY
I really wanted a marquee letter for our new apartment, but I didn't want to break the bank with a vintage version, or buy crazy new tools to make my own. So, I got crafty and came up with a super simple version that you'll love!

Wouldn't the lights get hot and having a cardboard letter next to them be a fire hazard?
