I have a theory. I think that if a laundry room looks a little more decorated that you'll have a strong urge to do your laundry and it will even be fun. Okay, not really, but I'm still going to try to make a laundry room look cute today anyhow. These are a couple of signs for my mom's laundry room. They were fun and easy to make.
Here's a closer look at each one.
Here's how I did it. I cut a piece of cardboard (or two layers of cardstock) the size of the opening in the frame. Then I cut a piece of fabric a little larger than the cardboard to cover it. I used Aleene's brush on Super gel. (It's like super glue, but thicker. It dries super fast, which is always helpful. You could probably use the spray glue or decoupage as well.)
I printed off the words in a font I liked, cut them out, and antiqued the edges with a ink pad.
I attached the signs and everything else I added with Aleene's tacky dots. I love glue dots because they stick extremely well and there's no drippy or stringy glue.
I added buttons and a mini-clothesline with socks to the other.
Throw them in the frame and you're done.
Now, it's time to actually do some laundry.
See you tomorrow for Wake Up Wednesday.

These are so cute! I think I would have a stronger urge to do laundry if my laundry room was cuter, and didn't cost $1.50 per load, and didn't eat half the money I put in, and wasn't shared with people downstairs who have had bedbugs 5 times... haha. Someday! :)
Way cute! If only I actually had a laundry room instead of a laundry "closet"! Still...sounds better than the comment above mine!
Cute! Where did you get those frames and what size is the frame and the "picture" area?
Thanks!

WAY cute!! My laundry room is in our unfinished basement. Not cute or inviting!
My laundry room is more like a mini hallway, but I love it because it's between the kitchen and the backdoor. I definitely need to make it cuter so it's not so boring! Thanks for the idea.
I love your laundry signs! I created one awhile back for my mom for Mother's Day using those little clothespins - so cute!

That must be my problem.... my laundry room isn't cute enough!!! This would help. I will have to work on it.
have you ever made your own glue dots?
I make mine using Aileen's take it over and over again glue. Works like a charm (*whisper* and sooo cheap!)
Dang! These are cute. The button one especially!
