HEART STRING ART
I love projects that I can make using supplies I already have. This is one of those projects. I did have to get some red thread, but everything else came from my stash of supplies.Want to make more Valentine decor? Try this Valentine banner.

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR STRING ART
- a board - mine was a scrap that was 12 X 12
- stain - I used Minwax Early American
- nails or upholstery tacks (I found the upholstery tacks at my local ReStore.)
- red crochet thread
- paper
- pencil
- scissors
HOW TO MAKE HEART STRING ART
- Start by finding a piece of wood that will work. Mine was 12 X 12. Then sand it and stain it if desired. Let dry completely.
- Next fold your piece of paper in half and draw a heart. Cut it out. Mine started out too big, but I just trimmed it down a little at a time until it was the right size.
- Place your paper in the center of your wood. Push the upholstery tacks in around the heart. I tried to keep them evenly spaced, but it's not perfect. I did this by hand. After, I went through with a hammer and pounded some of them so they were all fairly even.
- Tie the string to a nail. Clip the short tail. Wrap the string randomly from nail to nail. Continue until it looks how you want it. Tie the string to a nail and clip excess.
Voila, your very own string art!
