Life has been kinda busy- you know, with having to read the whole Hunger Games series on top of real life commitments! So this week will be an easy peasy little project! Good news is- it will be easy peasy for you guys too, if you plan to make your own!!

Well, almost perfect, see theirs is ginormous. Like 8 feet tall or something. So, I guess mine is the "mini-me" version of their awesomeness!
Buuut, mine was almost free since I had the frame on-hand. Even new it was less than 10 bucks at Walmart {of all places} The subway art print cost me 10 cents {seriously, 10 cents!} to print up at Staples. Just tell'em you want an engineering print. They can print just about any size you'd like!


I made mine an homage to Boston. I grew up in the suburbs there, and
I'll always love that area! This one took almost
no time at all- super doable project. By using a little creativity with Word you could
make an exact duplicate- if you wanted to!

Great knock off! Love this
ReplyDeletethat looks so good! you are so good at knock offs!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how I like your projects better than the original almost all of the time! You are so crazy talented!
ReplyDeleteAs always, great job!
ReplyDeleteGotta love a good knock off! This is super cute!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous idea!! Love your mini me version!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've got to read the Hunger Games series - saw the first movie but my girls have read the books. Gotta catch up!

I love this one as well as the large one you did last year. When you say "take it to Staples" do you take it on a flash drive, SD card, or make a print yourself and have it blown up by Staples?
ReplyDeleteThis is so sophisticated and cool.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Great tutorial Becca! You are one talented ckickie! Looks phenomenal! Hubs and I went to Boston for our honeymoon (we did a road trip to Toronto, Boston and through Maine) - we had so much fun there!!! It's one of our fave cities that we have visited.

Becca,
ReplyDeleteSeriously. .10? Can you print as large as you want? Like poster size? I am totally pinning this ASAP....and then running to Office Depot to see if they have engineering prints. You always have the best ideas!

I think {like everything you do} that it is awesome! I love RH but the prices are always outside of my budget. Your mini-version is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEasy and awesome! I'm trying to decide if I can make giant subway art for our dining room (like 4'x4'),and you give me so much motivation!
ReplyDeleteYou are quite possibly, the queen of Z Gallerie, Restoration Hardware knockoffs.

I love subway art and you made this piece easy, good-looking, and inexpensive,plus personal. Why spend the hours on painting canvas when you can just print and frame. You have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI love this!! Seriously LOVEEE this! We have done something similar on a dresser but so ready to try some wall art! Great job!!!

ReplyDeleteI think my next subway art project will be printed, not stickers/vinyl like the one I made before. Great job! Thanks for linking to Handmade Tuesdays.
ReplyDeleteBecca, The subway art turned out wonderful and I can't believe it took such a short time to make. Thanks for linking to the OHP this week.
