  • In this video I show all the steps for making string art. It's surprisingly easy and gives beautiful results. And the great thing is that you can make pretty much any shape you want, in any colour. Endless possibilities =)
    What you'll need:
    - A piece of wood
    - A saw and sandpaper to cut the wood to size
    - Lots of small nails
    - A hammer
    - Small pliers
    - Hooks/other hardware to hang your piece
    - String (I used cotton yarn that is used for crochet)
    - Scissors
    - Big (yarn) needle
    If you make one of your own, I'd love to see it! Send me a picture on Instagram @craftswithellen.

      Thanks! I was looking around for the perfect piece of wood for some time before I came across this one. Very happy with the organic look of it :D

    Qué Belleza!! Desde los años 70s, no veía este arte, nunca la pude aprender, pero veo, que en estos tiempos, todavía lo hacen.
    Felicitaciones para esas personas que lo hacen, y de pronto en mi vejez, trataré de aprenderlo, por medio de uds.
    Gracias, por existir.

    I made my first string out project this weekend, thanks a bunch for all of the tips, it turned out great. I do have one question and hopefully you have a tip about it, my string kept getting twisted as I was using it and got a small knot, thankfully I got it out. How to you keep your string from twisting as you're using it for your project?

      +Tube Torial`s Sounds awesome, great idea! I guess it's a matter of taste, both options would be fine. My personal preference would probably be to fill the city with string :)
