I am not sure if my husband thought I was in a creative slump or he actually wanted a sign made for the bathroom. He showed me a picture of a sign someone had made and said he wanted me to make one like it.

I decided to use another of the slightly curved pallet signs I had made. It was easy enough to type out different sayings and draw basic clip art. I had to play around with the font and picture sizes so that it would fill the sign and be large enough to read.

Some of the phrases on the example he gave me made no sense to me so I came up with some of my own. I used tracing paper to trace everything from my Ipad then used carbon paper to transfer it to the wood. I burned in all the words and picture outlines then painted the pictures with acrylic paint. My husband decided he wanted it to have a bit of sheen so he used Wipe-on Poly on it.

Anyone reading this understand why I chose ”BE the change”? The picture right below should help you out. My comment to my husband when he asked why I put that in there was, ”a woman would know.”


This sign is now in our powder room as it is the bathroom most frequented by guests.
Something to read while sitting on the throne.
There are some other funny bathroom related signs that I plan to make in the future.
