My husband and I have family from Utah and Georgia so those were my two state choices. I plan to make more as gifts, too!
Here is the simple how-to…
SUPPLIES
- Canvas square about 6”x6”
- Mini embroidery hoop size 3”
- Paint & sponge brush
- State Silhouette (I used Google)
- DMC floss (I used DMC color 704)
- Mini Heart Button
- Scissors
- Ribbon to hang
- Pencil
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Trace your state image in the center of your canvas piece with a pencil.
2. Stitch the outline of the state. I used three strands of the DMC floss using a straight stitch.
3. Attach the heart button.
4. Paint your embroidery hoop to desired color. I used red acrylic paint with a sponge brush.
5. Attach with a bow and hang or tie to a gift!

These are soooo cute Kari! I think they’d make really cute gift toppers too! Thanks!
So Sweet! With my brothers out of state I am for sure making these to send in their holiday fun boxes!
Love these! I think I’ll have to make a California one, since I’m a California girl. 🙂
I would stitch Louisiana, South Carolina, and California.
I love this idea! So cute and simple.

SOOO cute. I think I need one with AZ. My heart will always belong there. 🙂
Wow! What a cute and easy project!!
So very cute!!
Love it! I will make these for each one in the family! What a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!
AH! The Georgia one is around Savannah, isn’t it?? :3 That’s where I am! I want it! 😀
Love this! I’ll be working on a Louisiana version today. 🙂
I just made these for my sisters-in-law. As a total!! beginner this was not an easy project. Not impossible, just took patience. I ended up using our Road Atlas as the templates for the outlines. I also free handed the hearts with silver DMC S762. I used each one’s state colors and left the hoops plain. I used ribbon in the other state colors to dress it up. All in all, LOVE THIS!!!!! I am already planning more!
great idea to use an atlas! I bet they turned out great! I’d love to see a pic of them!
