My retired dad was supposed to make this for me for my baby shower, but must’ve forgot with his busy schedule. Just finished making my sign holder with ease. 12/10
I really appreciate this video. We've been having such a difficult time finding a stand for our welcome sign. This is a fun project and will save us money!
Thank you for this video, you have made it look so easy that I’m keen to try this for my wedding signs
Happy this video inspired you to make your own stand. You got this!
This was an amazing tutorial. Thank you !
Yay! So happy it was helpful!
Just made this today and it came out great! I used JB Weld instead of the just for copper (had it on hand).
Thats fantastic! If you share it on your IG page/stories feel free to tag us @newlyweds_tv. Would love to see it in all its glory with your sign.
How much would you say you spent on making this stand?
Very nicel!!! Can you make a vid about those reflective mirror aisles? 👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed the video! That would be fun!
The only thing do different putting sand in the bottom tubes to weight it down more.Thanks !
YOU WILL ACTUALLY NEED 3 TEN FOOT COPPER PIPES if you want to make a sign that’s 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. The directions tell you to cut 28” pieces which makes a 5 foot by 2.4 “ pipe! I had to go back to Home Depot and buy a 3rd pipe because I actually do need 3 feet wide because my sign is 30” wide. All in all sign looks great. Cost me about $120 to make (I didn’t have the pipe cutters which was about $25).
Love this! Looking forward to making it for our business. Quick question, how did you cut the acrylic sign to be able to attach your leather straps?
Happy its been helpful! We used a drill with a 7/64 drill bit or around that size to make the holes for the leather straps. I hope that helps!
Hi, Is there a typo on your pipe sizes listed below the product links? I'm thinking the first should be (2) 5' Copper Pipes, not 5"??
Yep - You're correct. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! Curious to know if copper pipes are able to be spray painted? Really want my stand to be black..
Happy to help! Great question. We have totally seen copper pipe stands at weddings spray painted before.
@@weddingplanningschool Awesome, thank you!
so.... was it 28" for 2' 4"? or 36" for 3'?
How did you make the holes on plexiglass?
Just a power drill!
This is awesome! Can you share how thick of a sign works for this type of structure?
Glad you enjoyed the video! So we used a 24" x 36" acrylic sign. Super light. When you say "thick" I assume you mean a little heavier? If that's the case, it is a strong structure, but you may need to have some kind of weights at the base for extra support (windy days, drunk guests, etc) Hope that helps!
@@weddingplanningschool By thickness I mean - how thick is the board itself? When searching I see that there are different thicknesses of acrylic you can buy - the most common I see is 1/4", but was wondering if you could go lighter. I couldn't tell what this sign might be.
@@morgancolfax8512 Totally. So ours in the video is 1/4 thick. I don't see why you couldn't go lighter? You might have given us an idea to test out different board thicknesses and how they hold up in outdoor environments ;)
Do you think this DIY would work for a 5ft x 5ft wide stand? And what was the approx. total cost of everything?
If I understand your question correctly, you're looking to make a 5ft x 5ft copper stand? If so, you totally can! You'll need another copper pipe and the proper measurements you want. The total cost for everything was close to $150 range. The copper pipes were more expensive because of supply and demand at the time I bought them. If you have some of the other house hold items, you'll for sure save there. Hope that was helpful!
Yes! I have a bride wanting to hold three signs layered together across a 5ft wide stand and I can’t seem to find one off Etsy.. So DIY it is and will be using your video! So clear and to the point, thank you!
@@melissacabrera9875 very cool. Happy to help and best of luck on the project/wedding!
How is this 3 foot across when you are getting the pipes at 28"????
You are correct. Its actually 5ft x 2.4ft. Thank you for pointing that out and sorry for any confusion on our end! -Nick
Did you make your own sign? Do you have a video on that or supply list?
We did make the sign, but no video on how we did yet! The material we used was a 24" x 36" acrylic sign that we bought from Amazon. The letters were made with our Cricut Maker and the material of the letters were removable vinyl. We hope that helps!
What is the total cost of materials for this project?
It was around $150. The copper pipes were the most expense materials for this build. Hope that helps!
how do you keep the stand pretty? lol Ours keeps tarnishing and looks horrible. any tips?
Copper is a pain to keep clean and shinny lol so Nick recommends if you really want to give them a good shine, he found by putting ketchup in a paper towel and rubbing it on the copper pipes. Then take a wet paper towel and wipe it off. After that he said try using steel wool too after you've cleaned off the ketchup. I hope that helps. We'll aim to make a video on how to do that!
Totally know what you mean. Copper is super cool but doesn't stay clean for long it seems. So Nick said try making something called "551 Cleaning Solution".

Steel Wool
Great video. I purchased all the supplies! How big is your welcome sign?
That's awesome! Our sign in the video is 24" x 36". Something we didn't mention in the video but want to share here is we recommend wearing gloves when sanding the edges and inside of the copper pipes/ fittings (03:40 for reference ). Protect your fingers at all costs unlike me lol. Thank you so much Yisel and have fun with your copper stand set up!
Nice! What was the estimated final cost?
It was close to $130-$150 range for all the supplies!
Silly question, but what size is the actual welcome sign to hang in there? :)
Not at all! So the actual size of the Copper Stand is 5ft H x 2.4ft W (not 3ft as stated in the video.) The answer to your question is the acrylic welcome sign in the video is 24" x 36". We have the supplies from the video linked in the description too!
@@weddingplanningschool Thanks! Great info.
@@MichelleClyde Happy it helped! Cheers!
how do you add holes to the acrylic sign?
With a power drill!
How about plastic pipes?
You mean PVC pipes? You totally could make this stand out of them. Then paint them what ever color you like to finish it off.
What is the cost of all the supplies?
It was close to $130-$150 range for all the supplies.
Great video but your dimensions are incorrect. You made a 30" wide sign not 36".
Glad you enjoyed the video! So the sign it self in the video is 24"W & 36"H. Hope that helps.
