You deserve to live somewhere cool with rad wall art that lights up and says, “Hey. This is a cool guy.” Unfortunately, cool wall art like giant neon signs tends to be pretty pricey. Lucky for you, there’s a cheaper way to achieve that neon sign coolness without breaking the bank. We figured out how to hack neon signs, just like we figured out how to hack anything else, thanks to a video from TikTok by @vacay.beauty.
The first thing you’re going to need for a giant neon sign is what you want to say, @vacay.beauty went with “Vacay Vibes” for obvious reasons. You might choose something like “Cool Guy” or “Welcome To Paradise.” However, be warned that the cost of your sign is dependent on how long your word or phrase is, and each letter is $15. After you decide what you want it to say, head to Amazon and buy the neon letters you’ll need.
Next, grab a sheet of plexiglass like this one that’s around 1/8″ thick and large enough to fit all your neon letters. Then line your phrase on the plexiglass and mark where the cord from your letters hit. You’ll need to drill/melt a hole through the plexiglass with a wood-burning tool, so the cords can be pulled through.

Finally, attach the letters to the plexiglass, pull the cord through the holes, and add batteries, and light that bad boy up. Unless it says, “Bad Boy” and in that case, turn it off and start again.
