Make Something Monday - String Art DIY
Sometimes you just need to make something! This craft is fairly quick with only a few needed items to complete it.
String, string, string. String until you're happy with the product. Tie off the end with another double or triple knot, leaving a tail. Then clip the tails off with a pair of sharp scissors.
Finished Product!
A fun piece of art to display in less than an hour!
Items Required:
Piece of wood (you can purchase at any craft store - we mainly used 5x5 blocks)
Paint (if you wanted to paint your wood)
Floss
Hammer
Finish Nails
Shape or Letter (I printed off shapes and letters to use)
Instructions:
First, paint your board your color of choice.
Then, decide what shape, pattern or letter you'd like. We had a lot of initials and Wisconsin shapes!
Use the printed shape you've chosen and start hammering the finish nails around the edge of the shape. There is no magic spacing, but I typically space them out about a pinkie width or 1/4 inch.
Remove the paper from your board and select your floss color.
Tie a double or triple knot the floss on one of the nails, leave a tail and start stringing! There is no right or wrong way, just string. If you need to push down the floss so that you can string more, go ahead!
