D.I.Y. string art heart picture
Overview
Steps
Sand the ply panel edges
Give the edges of the ply panel a sand to smooth them out.
Stain the board
With your newspaper underneath to protect where you're working, use the paintbrush to give the ply panel a wood stain.
Draw a heart
After the stain has dried, use a pencil to draw a big heart in the middle of the project panel.
Add the nails
Carefully hammer in nails along the line you've drawn. Try and make them about 2-3cm apart.
Criss-cross the string
Tie the stringline to one of the nails and start criss-crossing it across the panel.
Run string around the outline
Tie the string on a nail and run it around the outline of the heart.
Tie the string off
Make a knot on a nail when you're finished to tie the string off.
