Art

When I was a child I loved making string art by pounding nails into a wooden board and then wrapping string around the nails until you achieved a weaved pattern. Instead of using nails and a wooden board I used a 12" X 12" canvas with a wooden frame and a needle.
String Art


Supplies:
12" X 12" canvas with a wooden frame
white acrylic paint
paintbrush
template of a heart or any shape
colored string
large durable needle for thick fabric
scissors
pencil

Paint the canvas white and let dry completely. Make a template of a heart or any shape. Place on front of canvas. Use a pencil to make dots around shape placing them 1/4 inch apart. Take your needle and poke holes into canvas where you marked your dots. Thread your needled and tie a knot. Start from the back of the canvas to begin. Make your own design and alternate colors if you want.
