My boys have been making homemade "keep out" signs for their bedroom door for a while. They eventually get trashed from all the door slamming that goes on around here, and then my 6-year-old gets mad. So I told them I'd make them one that would really stay put. (No, the hubby wasn't too happy with this, but I told him it was better than all the tape they were using on their own signs!)
I let them choose the wording and pick out the image. They thought the spider was scary enough to make girls think twice before entering. But they wanted to make sure I knew that even though I am a girl, I'm allowed in their room, so we added that little bit (I love that they're little enough to still like me!). They actually ended up with a list of a few more girls who could come in, but I told them they'd just have to get a bouncer to hold that list--it's not going on the door.
You only have a few more days to enter our Silhouette giveaway! Your house, too, could be covered in vinyl very soon!

This is what we'd use it for too! I like the way your sign came out.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog looking for sewing patterns (I just got a new machine!!) and I love your projects. I want to try to make my own home decor from now on :). I'm also a middle school teacher and this silhouette machine looks so awesome. I could so use it decorate the classroom!! I can't wait to see the rest of your projects!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that!! I have 3 boys in my home and they would love something like that!
ReplyDeleteI love it! My little girl is 3 years old and is just starting school next month. I would love to do something similar for her when she gets older :)
ReplyDeleteThat is CUTE -- my boys would love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a Cri cut is that like the silhouette machine?
ReplyDeleteRose, the cricut is similar to the silhouette, except the silhouette is all digital software on your computer and can print directly. So there are no cartridges or anything.
