DIY Craft // String Art // State of California

So just to be a little "Punny" my first DIY Craft is a spin of the Blog's namesake.  A "heart-string" project.  I did this for Christmas gifts for my family 2 years ago, and it was a big hit, plus an extra bonus its super easy.  Here is the finished project:

The original inspiration for me came from Pinterest....lets be honest, everything comes from Pinterest =)

The original inspiration came from  here, but since I don't live in Ohio I adapted it for California. I tried the technique where all the string leads to the heart, but since the heart wasn't as centrally placed, I felt like it didn't look as good as doing a scattered version like above.  We bought a plank of wood, my husband cut and routed them into shape, I stained and stringed it and...voila! there you have it.  

TIP:  For extra definition I strung the entire outside and also painted the tips of the heart nails red to make it really Pop!

I found this project to be very quick and easy once all the materials were gathered, I highly recommend it to add a fun accent to your home!
