Instruction

Step1: Pick your States
Preview

Pick your state and drag it to you workspace, if you don't see them when you open the file, zoom out, they are there.

Your purple layer is for text, you don't really need it

The blue layer is your engrave layer

and the black layer is for your cut. 

All states are in groups so just drag and drop.

Zoom into your workspace and start adding to your states. Add designs, text whatever, make the state your own. All are 3 inches at the max but scale them up or down to your liking. 

If you have a computer you can write on, have your kiddo write their name for a sweet gift for mom or dad. Adobe fresco is great for drawing on the screen and making vectors, and it's free!

Don't forget you're not just stuck to one side of the keychain, add something to the back for a little something extra

Make sure you wash the pieces and get the dust off.

I use just craft store acrylic paint to fill mine in, add a layer, scrap off the extra with a card, let it dry, and then wipe the extra away with a paper towel.

I have left on the masking and spray painted before removing the mask or even uv resin.

For adding the detail in the hearts I use posca paint markers, the extra fine tips, .7mm
