AN, thank you! For the sign I bought a piece of wood, some wood strips, and curly-q letters from Hobby Lobby. The pieces of wood were too long, so I sawed them down the right length. Then I painted everything (the background and inside of frame were a light yellow, and the letters and outside frame were purple) and used Gorilla Glue to put it all together.
If you look closely, there are numerous flaws -- apparently I'm not that good at sawing neat edges, or avoiding glue spots -- but on camera they weren't really noticeable. Once I figured out what I was doing (which took forfreakingever and involved a few meltdowns in Hobby Lobby...that place is just overwhelming!) it wasn't actually difficult.

I promise, it wasn't hard! I didn't have the right tools, so sawing was a challenge, but other than that nothing was difficult at all. It really only took a few hours (and only that long because the paint needed to dry!).Autumnovember said:Oh jeez lol, that sounds like a lot of work!

But etsy sounds like a great solution!
