How to sign “Made” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Made” instead
Step by step
- Close both hands into fists and hold them together in front of your chest.
- Stack the fists so the dominant one sits on top of the non-dominant one.
- Twist both wrists at the same time, as if you are screwing two parts together.
- Keep both palms facing inward toward each other during the twist.
- Add a focused, purposeful expression, as if you are building something.
Practice tip
