Fall Subway Art
Fall is in full swing and before you know it we will be getting ready for Christmas. How time flies. Fall season is my favorite time of the year but I miss out on this season since I live in the south. It's hot and nothing about heat and green trees reminds me of fall, but I will incorporate all the warm fall colors in my home to remind me of those cool mornings, leaves turning and pumpkins. I am sharing my fall subway sign. This fun and easy project is great with my fall decor. This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the products links, I'll receive a very small percent.
Supplies for burlap sign:
Picture frame of any size
Paint - I used Warm Buff and Sweet Potato by Apple Barrel
Stencils or print out of words you can trace
A foam board cut to size to fit your frame
I don't have a Silhouette or Cricut machine so I have been using PicMonkey, I created words which reminds me of fall. I used different fonts and sizes when creating these words. Once I was happy with my subway sign I printed the words. Next, I cut the words apart and positioned the words in order on the burlap. Once I figured out the positions of the wording I snapped a picture.
Next, I cut the foam board down to size to fit my frame and using the warm buff paint, I painted two coats on my foam board. I set the board aside and let it dry.
Once the words are created, I placed the fabric over the words and using a skinny paint brush, I hand painted each letter. See picture on the left. This part is tedious but I enjoy painting, so it was easy for me. Once all the words are painted, I hot glued the burlap to the foam board. See picture on the right.

Here is the finished product and now I can leave this lovely burlap sign up till Thanksgiving. What's there not to love about that. I added another burlap pillow project I created using the same technique. |
Thank you for being here and I love to hear from you, so leave me a comment.

Dishing It and Digging It Link Party #113
Welcome to our party!!
So, now let me turn this over to this week's host.
I'm so glad you joined us today!!
First, before I go any farther, I want to remember and honor those that lost their lives on 9/11. I will never forget that day. I appreciate you allowing me a moment to thank and remember the ones that sacrificed and gave.
We've had so many new link ups and it's amazing how much our party has grown and that's all due to YOU! Thank you for sharing all of creative ideas!!
Back in my neck of the woods, the weather has turned back to scorching. So, I sprang into action to get my spray painting done, because before I know it, winter will be nipping at my heels!
I love how these barstools turned out!
You might remember the first set I painted white. Well, there's a reason why I did the second set in orange. You'll just have to stop in and find out why. ;)
But now we are going to get this party started!!
I just love what Joy did here! So simple and rustic!
I must need some MORE chocolate in my life...
I never knew that you could print on watercolor paper for more texture. Great tip!
I just LOVE the detail and color!
Thank You for linking up!! Have fun!!
