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

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.
