Block style signs will stand up on it's own. If you prefer sign to hang on a wall, I can add rope or sawtooth hardware to the back for easy hanging. You will have this option at checkout. If you choose to have your sign for hanging, the thickness of wood will be less than 1 inch, instead of the thickness needed to sit up on it's own. Easel Style signs will have a bare backing nicely painted so sign looks nice if viewed from the back side. Signs are made from real wood. Hand painted and coated with a protective finish. Comes in a variety of different sizes. If there is a color you prefer that is not on the list of options, send me a message and I will add it to the list.  We ship to the USA only.
