I’ve got four sons, no daughters, so as you could imagine, sometimes our house smells a bit sweaty. I’ve been dealing with this for the better part of 10 years. I have a couple of boys that like to get in the shower and stand in the nice warm water, but they don’t use soap or shampoo unless they are reminded. I decided it was time to try and do something about it. I created these Vinyl Instructions for the Shower and I’m hoping it will help my boys better with their cleanliness! We’ll see how it goes.

When I decided I wanted to do this, I had a few goals in mind. #1 was to make sure my boys were cleaning themselves, #2 was to make it look cute, and #3 was to match the bathroom. I think I got #2 and #3, we’ll see about #1. π
To make this project, you’ll need:
- Cricut Explore Machine with Mat
- Vinyl in the color of your choice
- Transfer Tape
Start by designing your vinyl decal. I wanted mine big enough that it could be read. More than half of us at our house wear glasses, but when we are showering, we don’t wear them, so I wanted this large enough that it could be read, even without the glasses.
Once I had the vinyl designed, I cut it out on my Cricut Explore.
Weed your vinyl. I love using my weeding toolΒ to do this.
Put transfer tape over the top of your vinyl.
Then apply it in the shower. Just make sure that the surface that you are applying it to, is nice and clean. Also, make sure to push the vinyl down everywhere. I pushed it into the tile seams really well. After I applied the vinyl, I did wish that I would have designed this so that I didn’t have anything on the tile seams, but we’ll see how well it lasts. So far, I’m loving it!
The real question will be, if my kids love it and actually do what it says! Ha! Am I the only one that has this stinky boy issue going on? Please tell me I’m not alone! π
