Try to create Sweetheart State Map For Valentine by yourself

A friend of mine asked me to help create something for Valentine’s Day that wasn’t some “mushy pink and red thing” so we came up with this Sweetheart State Map. we love how it turned out and how it has a “chalk board” feel to it. They were from two towns here in Idaho but if you wanted to create one with two different states that would be easy too. Instead of paint you could use white string to connect the states. If you both were from the same town you could use it to represent your hometown and current location. Materials Needed: Wood State Shape, Mine is 18″ tall by 1/2″ thick Wood Letters, I’m using 2″ tall ones that are 1/8″ thick and in the Century Gothic font. 2 Wood Star Shapes. 1″ tall by 1/8″ thick White & Black craft paint Craft glue Foam paint brush Fine & medium bristle paint brushes Pencil Paper plate Gather Your Materials This is a super simple and fun project. You might want to put some newspaper down to protect your work surface. If you have kids it would be neat to let them help create this thoughtful gift too! Paint the State Use the black paint & foam brush to coat the face and sides of the state. This may take two coats to get consistent coverage. Paint the Stars & Letters Use the white paint and mid-size paint brush to paint the front and sides of the stars and letters. Set aside to dry. Sketch the Dotted Line Use the pencil to sketch the location of the dotted line. Paint the Dotted Line Use the white paint and fine tipped brush to paint in the dotted line. Fix Your Mistakes I don't have the most steady hand so there were a few places that I went back over and touched up with the black paint. Apply the Glue Apply the craft glue to the back of the letters and stars. Affix the Letters & Stars Carefully place the letters and stars onto the state plaque. Wipe away any excess glue. Here is How it Looks Here is how mine is looking up close. Once Everything is Dry Here is how it turned out! This one is going to sit on a shelf but if you wanted to hang it on a wall simply add a picture hook to the back. Done!
