Start by planning how you would like your signage to look like by making your design. Be specific about it and start sketching it in any paper. Also, do not forget to make it cool and unique.

You will also be needing a piece of wood in any sizes that you prefer. Simply attach the design into it, but if you do not want to, then simply attach it to your wall.

If you are using a piece of wood, go ahead and trace your design with a light mark. Layout the wires by following the design. Be mindful about its details like its length, width and the colors. Keep in mind that the wood should not be more than an inch thicker.

Shape those wires directly after the design you made. Set out into connecting it in the wood if everything fits in perfectly. With the help of any sticking material such as a hot glue gun, glue it gradually in the wood. The glue could dry up very quickly but laying all the wires down may take a while based on the size of the wood.

Carefully stick all the wires and at the time you are finish, allow it to dry. Now, decide where would you like to see it hanging. Remember to have it completely dry before plugging the wires. That is to ensure it is safety to use. And there it is, your own handmade signage.
