How to make bathroom signs
Making your own bathroom signs are a great way to liven up any bathroom door. They can be made from a mix of materials that are easy to find. This article has a look at some different ways to make bathroom signs.
Using clay
Bathroom signs can be made from clay.
Make a rectangle that is smooth in the middle and about half an inch thick.
Pattern the edges to create a border. You can use clay tools for this, but you can find something just as easy to use around the house.
Try different kitchen utensils to make patterned edges.
Pierce two holes in the top edge for hanging.
Painting your sign
When the clay has hardened, paint your sign.
Add the wording that you want in the middle or paint in a picture of a bath or toilet to symbolise the room.
Cover with a coat of varnish and leave to dry.
When its ready, use ribbon or coloured thread through the holes so that it is ready to hang.
You can also make other shapes with clay that will indicate a bathroom theme.
Try starfish, seahorses or boats.
Use your imagination to shape the clay to a theme that suits your bathroom.
Other ideas
Wooden bathroom plaques can also be made in a similar way. Use thin plywood or balsa wood cut to size.
Drill two holes for hanging it and paint your design on.
Some great wooden bathroom signs can be made from beach material if you can get it.
Use sea-washed driftwood as a frame for your sign.
Glue on different shells and after painting your design, scatter on some sand and blow off for a beachy look.
His n hers
If you are thinking of making his and hers toilet signs for a business or public place, these graphics are readily available by searching the internet. Male and female signs or pictures of people can be used.
You could also go for wording such as Gents and Ladies or pick a different language like Madames and Monsieurs if it goes with your business.
Print these off from the computer and laminate for a quick and easy sign.
