STRING ART

So, i have been working on this project for awhile and i'm finally done!

The photo is not that good, it looks much better in real life!

So, if you wont to make something similar, this is how you do it:

Materials: 

• 1 large cork board
• A good covering white paint
• 1 foam brush (so you don't get streaks in the paint)
• 1 big bundle of yarn. I choose one that automatically changes color, which I think work very well. Then you don't have to stop and change color all the time. It all depends on what look you are going for.
• 2 boxes of gold pins. The ones I got ones a mix between a needle and a nail. And not to long.

Step 1: Paint the cork board. Now I had to give mine 3 coats because my paint was thin. Doesn't really matter.

Step 2: Find the font and size that fits your piece and print it out. Don't cut the letters out. It's easier to place and see the right distance if you don't cut them out. 

Step 3: Line the border of your letters with the nails. Don't place them more than max. 1,5 cm apart. And place them close when your are doing round parts.

Step 4: Carefully rip the paper out from under the nails. CAREFULLY! It is possible.

Step 5: Tie the string to the top corner of your first letter and start filling out. I chose to use a lot of string and fill our the space a lot. It all depends on what look you are going for. Tie the rope to the last nail on the last letter. 

Now if you want to make corners you will have to hand draw them on some paper. To make them the same, I did one corner, ripped out the paper and turn it around. I could then use it for the other corner. 

This is a really fun project. And you dont have to make one as big as mine. I have seen some really nice ones where it just said love or hope. Even some made on a piece of wood from the beach. I might do that next.

Also, my husband just cut my hair and it looks awesome! Good job by some one who doesn't have any hair himself.
