Our Hello Summer Popsicle Sign is not only easy to make with your Cricut, but it's also really cute and is the perfect way to welcome Summer to your home!
I happen to think popsicles and ice cream go together in the Summer like BBQs and family get togethers.
I love decorating for my house in the Summer with bright colors that are both welcoming and calming. That's one of the reasons I love this Hello Summer plaque! I think once you make it, you will too!
Did you know that you can also install fonts that you download on your computer on your Cricut?

- Once everything is trimmed, lay the design (starting with the “hello” and “u” out on the Cricut Mat, and line it up.
- Remove the backing from the transfer tape and place the transfer tape over your design.
- Use the spatula or a thick card to rub the design into the transfer tape.
- Remove the vinyl backing.
- Place the design (on transfer tape) centered on your piece of wood, and rub the design onto the wood using the spatula or thick card.
- Carefully peel up the transfer tape, making sure to press down any of your designs that may want to come up.
- Rub the spatula or thick card over your design again, if needed.
- Spray the clear glaze over your project, using newspaper or something disposable to place under it.
