First Look
The craft this month is “DIY String Art”.
The information sheet listed detailed instructions for completing the project.
You can see the completed projected on the back with the final instructions for the project.
There was also a little brochure about string art.
The Supplies
There were three planks of wood with two wooden paint sticks.
There was a two-sided pattern, which you can use for your project.
This project contained nails, floss, coffee (stain) and sandpaper.
This is a look at everything in the box. I like that all the supplies were included for the kit.
The Project
The first step was to sand the wood, then make the stain (just mix the coffee with water) and paint the wood.
You have to wait for the stain to dry on the wood.
Once the wood is dry, you nail the boards together, then pick the pattern for your design. Once your design is selected, you can nail the design to the wood.
Once all the nails are in, you just pull off the print.
The basic plan for the project is to weave the thread from nail to nail until there is a thick pattern.
Final Thought: This was a very involved craft, which made it more fun. I love how this piece turned out. I am going to do a marriage theme and put pictures of my husband and I on either side. If you want to subscribe, you can save $7.00 on your 1st box, just use this link with the coupon BOXMOM7.
