Summer Rules Wooden Family Sign

Hi friends, It’s Natalie from Doodlecraft sharing the perfect wooden family sign.  Everyone in your home is sure to love these fun Summer Rules!  My kids were thrilled seeing my rules posted…these are all the things they are excited about too. 

Summer time is the most wonderful time of the year in our home.  We like to go camping each Summer by the nearby lake.  Sneaking out at night to lay on the beach and look at the stars is my favorite.  The stars are so bright when everything is dark.  Another favorite Summertime activity is eating Popsicles on the patio. 

What are your favorite Summertime activities?

How to Make Wooden Family Sign

  1. Start by painting the board with acrylic craft paint.  Set it aside and let it dry completely.

  2. Next place vinyl on cutting mat and cut the project design with the Cricut Maker.  It’s simple to customize the CDS project with rules for your family.  Just add text using the Cricut Sans font and stretch them to 10 inches across.  Could add things like “Look at the Stars”, “Roast Marshmallows”, “Play in the Ocean”, or “Explore the city”…what phrase would you add?

  3. Then remove the vinyl from the mat and weed out the excess vinyl.

  4. Now carefully place transfer tape over the top of the vinyl.  Smooth it down with a squeegee.
