Mothers of Little Boys Wood Sign

October 17, 2014 by Holly Gagnon 13 Comments

I saw these {sentimental} words on Pinterest a while back and knew it would  be a perfect sign to make for my sister who has her hands  full with 3 little boys.   IMO:  any Mothers of ALL boys really do deserve a lil’ extra credit.  I’m blessed to have a both.  A boy and a girl who have different personalities.    If I had to choose right now, my son would be my favorite.  The girl and her drama can be a bit much.   Almost 8 and she’s the one who makes  ME work from sun up to sun down.

Mothers of Little Boys Wood Sign

To make the sign, I cut a  wood board, painted it with Decoart Paints then distressed it with a sander, inks and some more paints.

I  used my Silhouette to cut out the various fonts in grey vinyl and adhered it on to the board.

To personalize the sign, I  incorporated  images of things my Nephews favor.   Like  fish, planes, trucks and gears.

Mother and Son

 

Incorporating a gaming console  would of been another favorite of theirs but it just didn’t seem to fit  in with the whole look.  Plus, we need a break from the video games and so do Mothers of Little Boys.  I hope this Mothers of Little Boys Wood Sign inspires you to create a personalized sign for any boy Mama you know.

      Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately, I don’t sell these signs but it was pretty easy to make with a die cutting machine. Thanks- Holly

    I just love your signs! Can you tell me the fonts you used for the Mothers of Little Boys sign? I would love to try to make one like this and then add the things my boys love.
