DIY State Love Art Frame

Makes 1 frame
Cost 10
Equipment
- Craft knife
What You Will Need
- Printout of the outline of your state
- Printout of a small heart to fit inside
- Bold print fabric
- White burlap
- White fabric for backing
- Photo frame
- Paint
- Mod Podge
Notes
- 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.
2. 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!
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. 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.
