Well, I just finished up the holiday gifts for the three teachers at Lauren’s preschool. I’ve been having so much fun playing with subway art lately, that I decided to make something personalized for the teachers. I included their names, the school name and the classroom names along with all the other teacher related words. I used these totally fun and funky unfinished frames from Cut it Out. These frames are SO reasonable and the 5x7 size includes the glass. Perfect!
I found some cute flower stickers at Michael’s and coordinated the paint color and subway art to the flowers. I used CraftSmart acrylic paint in Apple Tart and used a varnish over the top to give it a sheen.
I hope the teachers appreciate home made gifts. Not quite as useful as a nice gift certificate to Starbucks, but at least there’s no calories involved!

Very cute! I have never quite understood how subway art works(when you make it yourself). How do you do it? In Photoshop?
ReplyDeleteI love this and as a teacher I would be tickled if one of my parents took the time to create something just for me. Well done Donna!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a similar project for teacher Christmas gifts, but not very experienced with subway art. What program did you use? I played around with Wordle, but not able to use multiple fonts. Could you please let me know?
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI actually just used Word for this with text boxes. If you leave your email address or email me at suzieq1@cox.net, I'll check and see if I still have the file when I get home tonight. I'm not sure that I do, but maybe.
Donna :)
