Medically Fragile signs
Hello all! Recently a friend asked me if I could make her some signs for her child's stroller. Me personally, I've never understood why strangers think it is okay to touch someone's baby/child or even a pregnant belly. But for a medically fragile child, this could be devastating. Their immune systems do not work as well as someone else's may. So a cough, a sneeze, a runny nose may not be a big deal to you, but for a child who's immune system is compromised it could mean a serious hospital trip or worse.
To make these signs, I first designed, print, and then cut them with Silhouette Studios.
Next I grabbed my Xyron Glaminator Foil Laminator. The Glaminator is not just a foil machine, but it also is a cold and hot laminator.
For the larger four signs, I used the heat laminating option with the Glaminator.
Next for the four smaller signs, (I had extra space on the paper and didn't want to waste it so I printed four smaller signs out just because) I ran these through my Xyron Creative Station Lite with the Xyron 5" Laminate/Magnet Refill cartridge.
Next I trimmed around each sign. The tops of the smaller signs are laminated while the back has the magnetic backing.
The final step for me was to add metal rivets where the signs can be zip tied to the stroller in an effort to let people understand why it is important to think before touching!
