Rudolph Subway Art



I made this for my Christmas decor.  I was tired of finding overpriced decor that was not unique.  So I started to search Etsy.  I love reindeer, especially Rudolph.  I found Subway Art by Periwinklepixies on Etsy.  I unfortunately did not take step by step pictures, but here is what I did.
  1. Purchased the file and printed it in color on regular paper  
  2. Cut away the plain white edges 
  3. Plain white canvas (from a 3 pack bought at Big Lots)
  4. Painted canvas red (few coats) and let dry
  5. Traced circles with a pencil using a top from bottled water
  6. Filled the circles in with green paint (few coats) and let dry
  7. Spread modge podge on top of the fully dried canvas and placed the subway art in the middle of the canvas (I just eyeballed it)
  8. After everything dried I spread another coat of modge podge on top of the paper and over the rest of the canvas
  9. Glued grograin ribbon that matched the dots (green with white dots) around the edge to finish the edges off
  10. Added the bow at the top and viola....I had a one of a kind decoration!!!!!!!
