I am super excited to share my latest project with you, it is a fun Avengers Subway Art Sign that I made for my oldest two boys.
I am redoing their room right now and have less than a week to get it done.
Scrap wood to make Avengers Subway Art
Attach smaller boards to larger board for support
Trim backer board to size
I made two planked boards, because I was planning on making the avengers subway art as well as another style. However, when I took the boards down to the boys room, they were HUGE. So we decided to do just the one.
Frame out planked subway art
Vinegar and steel wool stain process
I used vinegar and steel wool natural stain (the same thing I used on my camping crate) to change the color of the wood. I wanted to use this stain because after doing my clock I knew that the 1×2’s would be lighter than the plywood, and I really wanted the contrast, with less work!
My daughter would like that sign. I like how you used the different lengths of planks, instead of just one piece of wood… I just might steal that idea for some signs!
That is a great sign. I’m sure your boys will love it. I would, however, be careful about using copyrighted text or images. Just something to think about it. Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You amaze me with every single project – so inspiring! I want to do this so bad.
Thank you Catherine, you are sweet! I hope you do one!!!
Mindi,
You do the BEST tutorials! I love all the tips you share. This Avengers subway art is going to look great in the boys’ new room!!!
I love everything about your art, the graphics, the build, the color. Great job!

Wow, that’s really cute, Mindi! I’ve got 3 little boys, ages 9, 5, and 3, and this would look awesome in their bedroom! I haven’t gotten to their makeover yet, but when I do, I’ll be sure to make something similar to this! 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much Serena! Aren’t boys so fun!? You should totally do something for them like this…they would love it! 🙂
