With Christmas right around the corner I decided to workout my crafty muscle and whip up some inexpensive crafts and gifts you can create for minimal cost 
My first craft is SO easy but has such a cute effect.
It is called Subway Art.
1) I picked up a 8×10 frame from Dollar Tree – Cost $1.00
2) I went over HERE and saved the image and printed it – Cost ( minimal simply ink and paper)
( I picked this image because it takes minimal ink 
)
I did have to trim the image ( took like a minute)
Then I place the picture in the frame and viola!
This would be perfect on a side table or even hanging on a wall – super easy and inexpensive to bring Christmas into your home

great idea could you scrap book sheets also.. when my daughter was in 1st grade i had my bathroom done in flags and she colored a picture of a flag and then crumbled the paper up several times and then put it in a fram it looks like a real flag… to this day i have it hanging..
While you are at it.. the same place you went to get the artwork.. she also has a spring and an autumn one you could print out and include in the frame.. that way people could switch them around for the different seasons.. you could also make some of your own for more of the holidays and include them.. they should all stack in the frame itself so would always be ready to go!
very nice…and very simple!my kinda craft!
Sometimes i will take the frame and just wrap it like a present and hang it back on the wall. I will put pretty ribbons in different directions and of course the bows!. I keep all my old bows and bags from the previous year to decorate with. I also make a collage of all the cards I received from the prior year.
Thanks, I LOVE it!
It turned out great thanks so much!!!
Love it — I love to craft, I love the Dollar Tree, and I love Christmas — perfect. Thank you!
Along the lines of the scrapbook paper is to add papers of your choice to an existing photo frame that may already be in use in your home. My daughter takes a frame that has 3 openings (4 x 6) and puts various papers throughout the year as the seasons change or as her tast in decor changes. It is a cheap and inexpesive way to add color, texture and design..plus there are some really beautiful papers out there to display.
Just found your subway art on Pinterest. Thank you so much for putting this out there for everyone to enjoy. Merry Christmas!!!
Can’t figure out how to get the subway art on that site…can someone help?
You could also use old cards, and cut out the words and images.
love the free print — copied and have it on my kitchen table — ty
