DIY State Prints

State Prints from Lolly Jane




A couple of days ago I fell in love with a print of Arizona I saw on Pinterest.

Arizona Print from Plum Street Prints

She had a few states, but she didn't have Texas.  Being an AZ girl that is now in TX, I thought it might be fun to have both.

Then last night I saw this cute image in my Google Reader.


Kelli had made it for her little sister that had married a man from Louisiana.  Such a cute idea for an engagement present.

And the best part is that there is a really great tutorial on how to make your own state prints over at Lolly Jane Boutique.

Of course, then I realized that I have a font on my computer that has the shape of states and I can use my Silhouette to cut them out.  Now I have to talk myself out of thinking I need all 50 states hanging somewhere.

If you want to practice with Michigan, I'll buy it off you! Cheaper than buying my own Silhouette!

What is the name of the font that you have with the states?

I love this idea. Being a military family I think this would be a great project for me to hang on the wall.... Thank you so much for sharing! :)

This is so precious. I need to figure out how to make something similar to represent the places that my husband and I are from and where we've lived as a couple.
