6. Lay stencil on your board and tape underneath stencil to hold in place.

8. Take light bulbs out of your sign and place them in the holes of the board.
9. Glue the backside of the board with your glue gun to hold the light socket in place. Hold for about a minute to allow the glue to dry. Tip: if you have a mini fan this would speed up the process of the glue drying.
