I started out with a hunk of floorboard I found in the bin and some buttons (natch).
I painted the wood in Farrow and Ball, sanded it back when it was dry and highlighted the edges by 'dry brushing' some gold paint across the woodgrain.
I decoupaged the male and female symbols with decorators PVA and glued the button dividing line in place.
Tada!
I am posting this on the Handmade Monday Linky Party - pop over and see what other people are making this week.

Colourful loo signs the normal plain figures will be on strike soon!
Such a great way to use up 'found bits' and it looks lovely. Hope you have a good week.
What a fabulous sign, I love the different coloured paper for the man and woman.
Ooo, I like this a lot - great colours and a great way of letting visitors know where to go without those awkward questions! Thanks for sharing, love your blog :)
I love how you've created your toilet sign from all these odds and ends. The finished result looks wonderful.
