Printable SUBWAY Art

Subway Art has become very popular I might say. 
But the one reason why I could not jump on it was because of the time and effort that has to
go into making it......like cutting out a stencil. 
So lazy old me came up with this one afternoon and I am very HAPPY with it.
Color!!!  That is what I wanted mine to have.
Here it hangs in my kitchen for all to see.
I just typed it up on my computer.  I used the same font and size at first. 
I typed everything I wanted it to say.  I then went through and adjusted the font style and size to my liking.  Added color and hit the print button.  Fast and easy.  I found the frame at the thrift store for $1.00 and it went from ugly gold to green with some spray paint.


If you like the other things hanging on the wall
