Steps (11 steps, 60 minutes)

1
Start by downloading my 50 States Magnet project and open it in your Cricut Craft Room. Set up your machine and start with the "Map" layer.
-
2
Secure a magnet sheet to your cutting mat and set the pressure to 4 and the blade depth to 3.
-
3
Cut out all of the states and then carefully remove, making sure not to loose any states. Rhode Island is tiny - so keep an eye on this one.
-
4
It's a smart idea to attach all the magnetic states to a metallic surface at this stage.
-
5
Secure the first piece of coloured paper to the cutting mat and reset the pressure to 2 and the blade depth to 2. Select the matching colour layer and set to cut.
-
6
Glue the cut paper shapes to the appropriate state magnets.
-
7
Return the coloured states back to the map.
-
8
Repeat for all of the colour layers until the map is all coloured.

Set up the cutting mat with your black card and reset the pressure to 3 and the blade depth to 3. Select the "Names" layer and hit cut.
-

Glue the names to the corresponding state magnets.

Return to the map and you're all done!
