Halloween Subway Art

 I have seen these floating around blogland, and thought I'd give it a try!

I used each of my cricut cartridges to cut out the letters!

The story of the chairs..

So, one morning I drove past a garage sale and saw 2 chairs that looked cute. I was already late for work, so I didn't stop. However, on my way home they were still out there, but close to the curb. I couldn't tell if they were left out for the taking or what. So, I stopped and knocked on the door of the house- no answer. I didn't know what to do!! So, I saw a price ($5/pair) on the chairs. I put $5 and a note in the front door of the house and took the chairs.

Before:

I removed the seats, painted it white (accidently used metal primer, oops!!) and got some outdoor fabric on clearance...

After:

Autumn Frame!

** Scroll down if you are looking for the Wicker Beading Co. Giveaway!

So, I got this frame from Michaels for $2.00. I had a pack of Autumn fabric squares. Using some mod podge I covered the frame and got a lovely little decoration for my mantle.

A little burlap bow tops it off! I love burlap!
