For starters, I got my Cricut green vinyl out and cut this word art at 10" using the settings of blade at 3, pressure and speed at 3. Then, I removed all the little vinyl pieces (called "weeding") so that it would look as you see above.
Here's something to know: vinyl does not adhere well to canvas! Ask me how I know....and how much vinyl I ruined....
So, I went ahead and adhered the vinyl to 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" white paper, using transfer tape, then laid that on a sheet of 11-1/2" x 11-1/2" black cardstock. Finally I adhered that to my canvas using Terrifically Tacky Tape. No problems then!
Another tip: Don't try to staple the ribbon to the back of the canvas using a regular stapler because you are too lazy to go downstairs... I ended up using furniture tacks to hold my ribbon in place.

Very clever. I want to make one for my laundry room now.
This is so cool! I am in the proces of creating a craft room and this would be a great project to create to place on the wall. Thank you for sharing this wonderful project! ♥
You are so funny! and sound like me when I don't want to go downstairs for something - then I just remind myself - at least I'm getting some exercise! The word art hanging is so perfect for a craft room.
great idea, I have to get that cartridge
I think this cartridge is pretty cool - I love subway art and text/fonts in general. But - I do wonder how often I'd use the cart for my craft projects. So it's great to see what you create with it - thanks for the ideas!
This is adorable! Way easier than doing Subway art yourself! LOL. Thanks for sharing.
**New cart on my list now!**
What a cute project. This looks like a must have cartridge.
Guess I'm going to have to get this cart. This idea is perfect for a craft room. TFS!
Looks great!

I love this simple and easy decor idea, thanks for sharing!
OMG THIS IS SOOO AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!! I just bought that cart for $19.99 from JoAnns! YES LADIES THESE project and Event carts are ON SALE for $19.99 THIS WEEK at JOANNS!!!! Also if your JoAnns is out...Cricut.com has it also ON SALE for $25.99!!! I haven't played with it yet but it this is sooo CUTE and FUN! I am going to make one! My biggest concern was the Cricut cutting such a delicate font...especially smaller. Do you know how small we can go cutting this art?
Thanks fot the inspiration!
I really like these. Great for every room and great gifts for the person that has everything.
Funny tutorial! Great project resulting from your trial and error process!

I noticed on the sweepstakes that the CTMH cartridge isn't on it but the CM traveler is as eligible procducts. That is weird.
Love your canvas plaque!
Love this project and thank you so much for the tips...I'm sure someone like myself would have doen the same thing and would have been very angry!!! I hope to someday have my own craft room to actually do a project like this, but for now I share my space with the kitchen!
