DIY Bathroom Sign



 

Check out the sign I made for my half bathroom. I really wish that "Jesus" had been larger, but that will be a fix for another time. I used a piece of wood I had left over from another project. I think this piece measures 3'w x 2'h.

 

I wanted it to be a golden mustardy yellow color. So I mixed yellow and white until I got the color I was looking for. I painted the board and after it dried I sanded it with sandpaper to give it a aged type of look. I used my handy dandy Photoshop to type up what I wanted my sign to say and printed it out.

 

 

This is what it looked like after I sanded it.

 

 

I cut out each of the words and placed them on the board where I wanted them. It looked good to me, so I proceeded on with the project. The ole saying high-n-sight is 20/20 is sooooo true! I wish that I would have went with a larger font! That's another fix for another time. I like it for now.

 

 



Here was the tiring part for me. Turn each word over and color over each letter with a pencil. My hand got soooo tired! Be prepared sharpen your pencil several times.

 

 

After coloring the back side of the words place them back on the board where you want them and tape them down. I used painters tape. Take your pencil and trace the letters.

 

 

This is what it will look like after you trace overs the letters. I used a thin lined paint marker to paint the boarders and then a thicker lined paint marker to fill in the letters.
