{mamma craft} The Pinterest Challenge: Texas Map Art

Source: younghouselove.com via Lorina on Pinterest

Have you heard of this challenge?  Created by two of my favorite blogs, Young House Love and All Bower Power, the challenge is to stop pinning and get creating!  I am cheating a little because I am sharing a project I made a few weeks ago…but, I’ve got PLENTY of pins, so I’m now deciding what to do next! 

This was my inspiration photo on Pinterest:

I knew I had to make one for Mark with his beloved home state of Texas.  This project was so easy, took about 10 minutes to do and bonus!  I had everything I needed on hand (which is always good, since carting three boys under five around the craft store is probably the equivalent to getting teeth pulled!)

Here is my version:    

I think it’s super cute and I can’t wait to add it to my gallery wall that I am working on for our bedroom! 

Be sure to check out Sherry’s adorable clothespin light (so fun for the laundry room!) and all of the other Pinterest Challenge entries here.

    This is adorable! I DIYed one of these a few months ago and I just love it. My heart is in the same place on my Texas! Is that San Antonio or Austin? 🙂 Mine is SA!

    I pinned your state map cut-out and did it for the latest edition of the Pinterest Challenge. Mine looks different from yours but I am still super happy about how it looks. I've provided a link so you can see it if you like.
    Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

    I love this and want to try to do something similar for a Christmas gift. Is there a tutorial anywhere?
