Add these vinyl decals to your toilet seat to remind users to “Please Close the Lid Before Flushing”. You’ll find this shared project in Cricut Design Space.
I was actually trying to figure out how to gently encourage my husband and sons to “please close the lid before flushing.” Then I had the idea to make some vinyl decals to put on the toilet seat lid.
Our dog Zoey and grand-puppy Kona also like to drink out of the toilet. Totally gross and unhealthy. So, keeping the lid closed not only helps prevent the contents from splashing, but also keeps the pups from trying to drink out of the toilet.
More information than you wanted to know, right?! But I CAN’T possibly be the only person with these “problems”.

Please Close the Lid Shared Project File in Cricut Design Space
This design is one of the shared project files that you’ll find in Cricut Design Space. I made the design using Cricut elements and fonts. And then made the project public so that anyone using Design Space can use the design. Pretty cool, right?!
If you use a Cricut cutting machine, then you have access to Design Space. And as a Design Space user, you can use shared projects. Just remember that the only projects that can be shared are those that exclusively include Cricut elements and fonts. Uploaded images and system fonts cannot be used in shared projects.
So, I created these projects in Design Space specifically with the intent of sharing them with you!
Four Designs
This project includes four designs, one with a splash, one with a dog and paws, one with a cat and paws, and one with paws and hearts.

Hi, Sherry. If you do not have a Cricut cutting machine, here's a tutorial on how to make stickers without one:

And you can even use a free app like Canva to create designs, download as png or transparent png and print on your color printer using sticker paper. Here's a tutorial from Canva on how to do just that:

Hope this helps!
