3D Number Subway Art

I bought these house numbers a few months ago at the Ace Hardware store near us. They were on the clearance table for .25 cents each. I love finding deals like that. I knew as soon as I saw them I was going to make some wall art for Ammon’s room. I also had 7 of these boards left over from a previous project, so the whole project only cost me about $2.50.

I wanted this piece to be the same size as one of Ammon’s other Subway Art pieces. I used a ruler and exacto knife to cut the board to size.

I primed and spray painted the numbers white and the board was painted black. I had to spray about 4 coats to cover the numbers, especially the metal ones.

After everything dried I used super glue to adhere the numbers to the board. I used super glue because it dries fast and I’m impatient, but you could use another kind of glue if you prefer.

That’s it! A new piece of wall art for Ammon’s room. And very inexpensive too. Since he’s asleep now, I’ll have to hang it tomorrow.

    What a fun way to use the numbers!! I love how not only is it subway art but it also has the 3-dimensional feel!

    I love how this turned out! I actually have all but ONE number that I need for this same project. I picked them up at Habitat for Humanity a couple months ago and haven’t gotten around to getting it done. Thanks for the push!
