I’m OBSESSED with the new trend of doing subway art. It’s fresh, modern, clean, and just plain awesome!
Only problem, I had NO idea what I wanted to write on my art that I was dying to do 
Then, I saw this and my inspirations was found. CHILDREN’S SONGS!
We sing “You Are My Sunshine” and “I Love You” every night to LJ, so why not adorn his room with the songs that make him smile?
These were super simple and cheap to make….though take some serious patience! If you are an instant gratification person (like me), this will test you!
Materials
canvas
paint
white cardstock
Cricut/Shiloutte/Printer (i’ll explain how to do both)
Glue
Mod Podge
1) Paint canvas desired color. I did 3 coats to get a really solid paint color on there.
2) Cut out your letters. If you are using a machine, just select your font and set it to cut (disclaimer, I used SCAL2, not a Cricut cartridge font). If you are printing your letters, type them out in Word in reverse (black background with white letters) then cut them out using scissors and exacto knife.
(mine are organized by words in each row)
3) Layout letters on your DRY canvas. My canvas was 12×16, so I left a 1″ inch margin on each side and used a ruler to keep the lines straight.
4) Glue or Mod Podge down letters.
5) Onces letters are attached, brush over WHOLE canvas with a thin layer of Mod Podge. Don’t forget the sides!
Let it dry and there you have it! LJ’s room has a funky little wall inbetween his closet and a window, so it was the perfect place to stack his canvases.
Not only does it look adorable, but now I can teach him the words as we sing our songs each night!
