Personalize Your Space: DIY Floral Summer Sign on Plywood

I recently found a floral summer sign made of plywood at Michaels and decided to personalize it with some paint and lettering. I used my new Cricut Maker 3 for this DIY project and I'm excited to share the process with you. Join me as I show you how to paint and decorate this simple project.

Materials needed:

- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Lettering (created with Cricut Maker 3 and foil matte vinyl)
You can use stencil or sticker lettering of your choice

Plywood floral sign with paint

Start by applying paint to your plywood sign. I started with white and yellow paint for the center of my sign.

Next, apply paint to each of the flowers on the sign. I used darker pink, yellow, light blue, and yellow colors.

Vinyl lettering that reads hello summer

After that, I used my Cricut Maker 3 to create a "hello summer" lettering using foil matte vinyl. You can use any lettering or stencil you prefer. This was my first time using the Mother's Day gift I received.

Working with the vinyl lettering

To apply my letters, I gently removed them with my weeding tool and added them to my sign.


Your "Hello Summer" sign is complete and ready to be displayed. Thank you for creating with me; I appreciate each one of you.
