The items below are Lancaster County Pennsylvania Dutch Hand Crafted 8", 16" and 24" Diameter Hex Signs. These signs are made of Double Tempered Sign Board and are decorated with a Silk Screen Process.  Each order comes with a paper on the of History Hex Signs, with detail instructions for indoor or outdoor use. With each unique Hex Sign an explanation of it's meaning is included. 

Wood verses sign board

I have chosen craftsmen who use sign board over those who make signs out of wood. Wood may warp, crack, bleed and or fade colors over a long period of time,  tempered sign board is more stable and holds color longer.

These signs are ideal to give for a Get Well Arrangement, House Warming, Wedding Shower, Birthday, Employee Recognition,  Christmas Present or just
keep it for yourself.

The 16" and 24" a must for
Barn, Shed and
Outdoor Building Decorations

Hex signs and other Barn Decorations (Soft Cover 42 Page Book)
Hex Sign Book Increase Your Knowledge

Why Hex Signs? Pennsylvania Deutschland is an area located very roughly between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Populated by Germans, not "Dutchmen", the land's unique barn decorations have long been a puzzle to tourists and scholars. What are the geometric designs? How did they begin? Why do they persist? It is part of the popular folklore that a barn with a six-pointed star on it will be protected from lightning and that a white line around a barn door will keep the devil out. Students of history will claim that nonsense: the signs are merely decorations. Area residents offer theories that the signs are "fire signs", that is, that they give notice that the properties were covered by early insurance companies. Other signs may be symbols of freedom and land ownership, or expressions of personal creativity.

Hex Signs are Hand Crafted, colors may appear slightly different and may change slightly piece to piece then they appear on your monitor. On occasion the silk screen artist may slightly alter the pattern. The signs are cut from 48" wide Double Tempered Sign Board and to allow for a saw cut that would yield more pieces per sheet the signs are slightly smaller in diameter. This keeps the cost down for the consumer. The 8", 16" and 24" are a nominal Check Out The Soft Amish Dolls On My Toy Page
