Summer is almost here and I am welcoming this season with a special sign that I made myself! This DIY Hello Summer wood hexagon sign turned out so cute and is now the focal point of a summer-themed vignette I made in my foyer. You can use a cutting machine and vinyl or stencils and paint to make the words for the sign and accent it with pretty hibiscus flowers. Hang with the twine that is attached to the sign!

Use a cutting machine such as a Cricut to add vinyl letters to the sign that say "Hello Summer". You can also cut out a palm tree with the cutting machine too if you like. If you don't have a cutting machine, you can use letter stencils and paint. Just make each letter around two inches tall so that it fits between the slats on the wood sign.
