Description

If you've got a silhouette, you can make a string-art! It's quick, easy, and has a cool 70s feel.

Instructions

  1. Small 108152 2f2015 03 24 090150 img 20140729 143644

    Gather your materials. My piece of wood is a small chopping board from IKEA that is 15cm wide and 25cm long.

  2. Small 108152 2f2015 03 24 090611 img 20140729 151035

    Place your silhouette over your piece of wood and hammer in the tacks around the edges of the pineapple shape.

  3. Small 108152 2f2015 03 24 091056 img 20140729 151118

    Rip off the silhouette and use your scalpel to remove any pieces of paper caught under the nails.

  4. Small 108152 2f2015 03 24 091144 img 20140729 151500

    Use an adjustable slip knot to attach your string to the first nail. Wrap your string around the nails that make the outside of the shape, and then criss-cross through the middle.

  5. Small 108152 2f2015 03 24 091330 img 20140729 151922

    Use an adjustable slip knot to fasten off and trim the loose ends of your string.

  6. Small 108152 2f2015 03 24 091400 img 20140729 152422

    Repeat for the top of the pineapple.

    Pretend you've been transported back to the 1970s ... Groovy, baby!
