Valentine's Day Subway Art

Every time I go blog-hopping I see cute examples of subway art. It seems to be such a popular trend right now and I love it! Creative people all over are making fun pieces for all of the holidays as well as just everyday decor. One day, during one of my blog-hopping sessions I came across a post where someone made a Valentine's Day subway art piece using stickers, scrapbook paper and a cute frame. So one day while at Joanne's I headed to the sticker aisle to see if I could find some fun/cheap Valentine's Day stickers. Of course I was in luck!

Here is what I used to make my variation of Valentine's Day subway art:

1) 1 pack of V-day stickers ($2.99, plus 1/2 off)

2) 1 piece of white vellum paper ($0.69)

3) black frame with frosted window ($8.99, plus 1/2 off)

I started by cutting out each sticker and arranging them in the shape of the square that would show through the front of the frame. This was probably the most tricky part. I was trying to fit in as many stickers as I could. I had to play around with the arrangement a bit. It was almost like doing a puzzle!

Note: There are sunflowers painted on my craft desk. These are not part of the project.

Next I stuck the stickers onto the vellum and cut it to fit in the frame. Then I put the stickered-up vellum in the frame and ta-dah! This was really such a simple project that took all of about 10 minutes to put together.



I think it looks really cute on our shelf!
