Subway signs are all the rage, and like many others, I decided to try my hand at making a Halloween one. I made this sign with Shannon, a new friend. Now that I have made one, I can see all the possibilities. Shannon had the Cricut and the vinyl. I supplied the board and paint. I like how it turned out and I love how easy they are. Best, of all we had a lot of fun talking and getting to know each other.
I went to my local lumber company and asked them to cut a large manufactured wood board into two equal pieces; the board cost $4.00. Then we spray painted the boards. We took inspiration ---should I say almost copied--the design by Allison at A Glimpse Inside. A lot of the subway signs are monochromatic, but when it comes to Halloween, I like color; so we used lots of Halloween colors. I then spray painted it white, very lightly, to achieve a mysterious, spooky, Halloween look.
I hope you make a Halloween Subway Sign today.

ReplyDeleteDon't know where I've been, but I hadn't noticed the subway sign trend before. Your Halloween subway sign is great and looks like a fun project.
Joni, Your sign turned out great!
ReplyDeleteI love your sign too! I've seen the painted ones but didn't think about using my Cricut to make one. Duh!!! What kind of wood did you use? My hubby is a builder so I'm sure he can dig up something. Thanks for the inspiration.
