I've been seeing string art everywhere! I wanted to try making a piece and I thought the perfect place to test it out was in Hadley's room with a little heart. It adds amazing texture to a gallery wall.
They're pretty simple to make. You figure out your base. (Determine the size and color of wood block you need and paint/stain/cut to get it prepared.) I started with a pretty thin piece of wood and it split in a few places from the nails, so I had to get a thicker piece. I painted mine white with spray paint.
Then you create a template using Word.
Then you just put your paper over the wood and start nailing. I used white paneling nails from Walmart.
Then you begin stringing. The first and last piece are tricky because they need to be glued. Before the randomness, I went around the outline of the heart. After that, it's just random stringing!
