Aren't they glorious?!?!?!? I absolutely adore them, I just don't adore the $495 it would cost me to own them. And can I just say, these are the "small" ones, and by small they mean 22"X50" *raises eyebrow...*
Anyway, I certainly can't think of a place in my house where I could make that grand of a statement, so I definitely don't need anything that large.
But I love the look of them...whats a girl to do?!?!?!
Grab a couple of 11x14 frames from the $ tree, and a sheet of black poster board (also from $ tree). From there I cut out 2 10x12 pieces. After that, I let the Cricut do all the work for me... Isn't she pretty? Shes the best investment I've made in crafting...
Then I cut 2 squares of muslin to cover the inside of the frame and placed the muslin over the cardboard backing of the frame.
I used scrap booking glue dots and centered the cut out on the muslin. Then I just needed to use the dots to glue the centers of the letters in (for the big letters I specifically used ones without an inside).
Once you've done that, just cut off the excess muslin and hang. I LOVE them!!!!!!!! I love their $3 price tag too!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I've got my OWN subway art, for next to nothin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
You never cease to amaze me girl! These look awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love how your's turned out! I am totally going to try this! What Cricut cartridge did you use?
ReplyDeleteI did this with the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, the Shadow font :)
ReplyDeleteLOOKING those!!! I like that font too. I don't like all my fonts...they are all too girly/swirly.
ReplyDeleteAnother glorious project!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, when I see you tonight, remind me to tell what I was thinking when I first glanced at your post . . .
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I have seen these subway art projects popping up everywhere. Without a cricut I am lost - but this one I can envisage doing just with a printer. I like it!!!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to link up at my Star on Saturday linking party http://craft-werk.blogspot.com/2010/03/star-on-saturday.html
wow, very creative. Every time I see one of these posts on how people did theirs, I am amazed at the creativity and how much easier and easier I see it can be to knock these off.
ReplyDeleteVery cute..love it.

Hi -- I love this project. I don't have a Cricut, but could probably figure out how to do it with a printer??? I came over from Sonja's link party and I'm glad I did. Great project!
ReplyDeleteWow--that turned out great, love it. You must have the bigger cricut.
ReplyDeleteI totally love it!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be featuring this post on Creative Cats this Friday on Poppies at Play!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Great project!
ReplyDeleteVery very cute!!! I love it. What cartridge did you use to make those? I got a Cricut for Christmas and need a cartridge with a nice font.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to my party! I really appreciate it!
XOXO

Very cool project. You really got creative with this one. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I can see myself making these with the streets and house numbers of the places we've lived since we've been married.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great tutorial!
Hugs,
Natalie
i'm so copying! Copying is the most sincere form of flattery right!!???
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You rock
btw-I agree with you My cricut is one the greatest things I ever invested in
Awesome!!! I need me a cricut. If I had one I would totally make me some as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Durn, I need a Cricut!
ReplyDeleteCute! I am attempting to make my own subway sign as well but I don't have a cricut machine. I am going with old fashioned kinkos copy. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!
