It is probably no secret that I love Tennessee.
You may have seen my Cricut engraving tool project, watercolor hoop art of Tennessee, or my state love ornament featuring the Volunteer State).
So I made this easy state love art to pay homage to the southern state.

See how I made this simple craft.
You can make this for yourself, or a loved one who lives far away!
Supplies Needed:
- Printout of the outline of your state
- Printout of a small heart to fit inside
- Bold print fabric
- Cricut machine or Craft knife
- White burlap
- White fabric for backing
- Frame
- Paint
- Mod Podge
How to Make this DIY State Love Art
Apply Mod Podge to the back of your bold fabric and allow to dry. This will ensure that when you cut your state out of the fabric it will not fray.
Cut the state outline and heart from the paper. Then use your craft knife and paper template to cut the same shape from your fabric.
You can also use your Cricut to cut fabric and it’s much easier!
In the meantime, if your frame is not the color you like paint and allow to dry. Mine took a couple of coats of white.
I used the cardboard that was already in the frame. I applied two layers of white fabric onto the cardboard with Mod Podge. This will ensure that your cardboard will not peek through your burlap. I used my Mod Podge roller to smooth my pieces of fabric.
Add your burlap to the top of the cardboard. I just used hot glue to secure the edges. Put the burlap covered piece into your frame and center your state. Use hot glue to hold your state into place as well.
That’s it!
This is an easy way to make a state love art piece to center your Valentine’s Day decor around. Actually this one will probably stay out all year in my home. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I used this as an excuse to add decor to this table.

So glad I found this Angie! I’ve seen something similar to this on Etsy but this is the first tutorial I’ve seen and I love it! I’m in Knoxville and will definitely be adding one of these to our wall gallery. Now, I’ll be off to find some orange fabric! 😉
