Luau Themed Sign Post Decoration

 I love to use sign posts as decorations. I had street signs (Broadway, Fifth Ave., etc.) for a New York themed prom, and a sign post using curved arrows (This way, That way, etc.) for an Alice in Wonderland prom. This year's luau theme, called for a colorful signs. Cardboard can look like weathered wood if it is painted with pastel colors that are dry brushed to let some of the cardboard show through.

I point to the food with a luau arrow and the dance floor with the beach backdrop with another. The surf photo booth also gets an arrow. Everything else is made up. It's not a bad idea to make the signs a little extra long so they can be cut down afterwards to center and corners cut to make arrows go the directions you want after you figure that part out.

If is a more generic themed beach party, you can name beaches all over the world and write the miles from your venue to that city. I put a piece of bamboo in a painted #10 can filled with rocks to stand it up, and tacked each sign on the bamboo with hot glue. The entire project was done in less than an hour. Fingers crossed that it help create a luau vibe.
