Valentine’s Day String Art Craft

Today I am bringing you a fun Valentine’s Day craft!  Have you ever tried string art?  If not, then you need to!  It is really fun and you can be so creative with it!  You can do shapes or letters for whatever you want.  It only requires a few supplies.

If you like my heart garland in the background of the photo, check out my DIY Heart Garland post HERE!

Supplies:

1. String (I used white yarn.)

2. Nails (I used 13mm brass mini nails that I found at Hobby Lobby.)

3. Hammer

4. Wood (I got this wood heart from Target for $3 and painted it red.)

Love String Art Craft | www.sincerelyjean.comSteps:

1. Print out the shape or words that you want to use.  I used the word LOVE.  I wanted my letters to be connected so that I would only have to use one piece of string.  If you want to use my LOVE design, you can find the printable HERE.  Tape the paper onto the wood.

2. Using your hammer, nail the nails on the outlines of your letters and where the letters connect first.  It is important to do this first so that you can use the connecting nails to go from one letter to the next when it is time for the string.

3. Then, evenly space your nails on all of the letters.  This is the longest part of the process and my fingers were hurting from the hammer but it was still fun!

4. Now it is time for your string.  I started mine where the L and O connect.  Tie your string to that nail. 

5. Outline each letter first looping the string around each nail.  Only use the connecting nails when going from one letter to the next.

6. Once you have your letters outlined you can start going crazy.  Make triangle shapes where ever you want!  My only technique was to aim for a triangle shape and to not leave any blank spaces.  There is no correct way to do it, just have fun and do what you think looks good!  When you are done, tie the end of the string to the last nail.

There you have it!  I hope you enjoy this fun project!
