String Art // DIY // Anchor, Heart, Ampersand

Friday, May 23, 2014



Just a fun little DIY for your weekend.  I know I briefly covered a DIY string art a few weeks ago, but this time I actually covered all the steps it takes to make a beautiful statement piece for your home. So lets jump on it:



1. Cut the size wood plaque you want for your design, the one above is 12x12
2. Stain or paint your wood, I went with a dark stain so that the lighter string color would POP
3. Cut out the shape of your design (I have a Cricut, so I cut out a 12x12 size anchor with a cartridge I already had...you like the paper I used? Just some leftover scrapbook from Gigi's baby book), use double sided tape to adhere to the wood
4. Nail it! Outline the shape of the design with little nails (1 package of wire nails from Home Depot will be plenty), I spaced mine out approximately 1/2 inch or less apart
5. Pick a String color of your choice and GO CRAZY!

Here are some other pieces of String Art I have done and displayed around the house......


Guess I am a little obsessed.

    They all looks fabulous and I love the ampersand. You are so clever!

    If you have a minute to spare I would be thrilled if you could share your post at my weekly Say G'Day Saturday party. It has just started and this would be a great addition.

    Best wishes,
    Natasha in Oz

    Thanks so much for linking this up to my Creative Ways Link Party! I love the string art you've done. I'd have a hard time picking a favorite design, they are all so cute. The anchor is particularly great right now with summer upon us! Hope you'll be back with more awesome posts to share at this week's party!

    Saw your post on Link n' Blogs. I love string art but have been worried mine would turn out as a disaster lol. I love yours - especially the anchor! I think I am going to try to make one for my sister's bridal shower - you have definitely inspired me! You have a new follower.

    Love these projects! Is it just me or was wrapping the string kind of therapeutic? I definitely thought so :)

    “Abortion pill” is the common name for using two different medicines to end a pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol.

    First, you take a pill called mifepristone. Pregnancy needs a hormone called progesterone to grow normally. Mifepristone blocks your body’s own progesterone, stopping the pregnancy from growing. obat penggugur kandungan
