Quick Subway Sign

My friend Amber started me out on this project.  Another creative friend had made one and sent us all the details, you can see hers HERE.  I didn't want to take all the time to do each letter.  (Lazy I know).  SOOO I had this brilliant idea to paint my board white, put vinyl on then spray paint all of it black.  Then when I took off the vinyl it would leave my white pretty lettering underneath.  Not quite as easy as I had pictured,  the spray paint adhered the vinyl so much so that I couldn't pick off the lettering without leaving deep marks in my wood. ----This was actually the project last week that was driving me crazyyyyy!!!!

Since that didn't work I was back to square one.  That's when I thought of dear ol' Costco.  You can print up a 20 x 30 poster size for only $8.99.  AND that is exactly what I did.  I played with fonts and words in photoshop.  Sent it over to Costco.  Took my print and modge podged it onto my boxed board.  I say boxed board because it looks like a canvas.  It's thin sheeting with a little frame around it in the back to give it diminsion.  I LOVE it!!!

It was really quick and easy to do.  It makes me want to do another big sign to hang somewhere else.  Thanks Erin for the idea!!!
