Want to make your own? Here is how.
You will need:
Cork Board (Mine is 24×36 purchased at JoAnn’s with a 40% off coupon it was only $9. This is a really inexpensive project)
2 rolls adhesive shelf liner
USA Stencil
Paint and paint brush
Fabric
Pins
Paper
Glue stick
First thing you want to do is create your USA stencil. My cork board is pretty large. It is 24 x 36. I wanted to cut out my stencil with my Cricut. The Cricut will only cut 12 x12 or 24 x 12. I only have a 12 x12 mat. I divided my US map into 6 12 x12 sections and cut it that way. Once everything was cut out I had 6 different sections of the USA and I had to piece them all together. I used adhesive shelf liner- which you can purchase at the dollar store- for my stencil. That way my it could stick to the cork while I painted.
If you are planning to use a 24×36 inch cork board then feel free to use my stencils. You can download each of the six sections here. 1,2,3,4,5,6

I’d probably just google “usa map” and trace it. 🙂
