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.

Congrats to Carol.
Don'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!
I 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.
I love the sign. But then, I love all things Halloween!
That looks fabulous!
I love your subway sign, very cute and yay for your winner too! :D
What an adorable sign for the season!
That's a new hallow e'en decorating idea for me - it would be so cute down by the road.
So clever and cute. Wish I had one.
Congrats to Carol! Your sign is really cute, the possibilities are endless:@)
Very cute! I wish you would just make it for me:)
Love yours. I wish I'd been able to do mine with vinyl letters...the painting wasn't that easy for me, but I still love having one. I have a board ready to try my hand at a Christmas one too!
Congrats to your winner!
