  Step 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.

• 

  Step 2

  Secure a magnet sheet to your cutting mat and set the pressure to 4 and the blade depth to 3.

• 

  Step 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.

• 

  Step 4

  It's a smart idea to attach all the magnetic states to a metallic surface at this stage.

• 

  Step 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.

• 

  Step 6

  Glue the cut paper shapes to the appropriate state magnets.

• 

  Step 7

  Return the coloured states back to the map.

• 

  Step 8

  Repeat for all of the colour layers until the map is all coloured.

• 

  Step 9

  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.

• 

  Step 10

  Glue the names to the corresponding state magnets.

• 

  Step 11

  Return to the map and you're all done!

Would love to do this project, but the download for the 50 states doesn't work

ah ha! Just got a chance to play around with this, and figured out how to get the state shapes to show. In the craft room, go to the "Mat Layers" section and click on the eyeball icon of each layer that you want to cut. Thanks again for posting this and providing the .ccr file for it!

Finally got it to download, but it is only the names of the states and not the actual shapes of the states. Thanks!
