String Art Tutorial

I'm sharing a Design Team tutorial for Off The Rails Scrapbooking today  “String Art“. An easy technique but a little time consuming.

1) Draw a circle on the back of your paper, mark the circle at equal intervals. Pierce the marks with a paper piercer or a sewing needle.

2) Tape the end of your string/floss near any pierced hole on the back of your paper. This will be hole #1. Bring your string/floss up from the back of your paper through hole #1 to the front side of your paper. Count 10 holes on the front side of your paper and take your string/floss back down through hole #10.

3) Pull your string/floss up through hole #11 and down through hole #2. Repeat this process until you have completed the circle. The string/floss will go through each hole twice.

 

 

 
For the “So Cute” page I used a 9 inch circle and made my piercing at 1 inch intervals.

 

 

 

 

For the Puddle Jumper page I used a 9 inch circle and made my piercing at ¾ inch intervals.

 

 

 

 

Changing the intervals or the number of holes skipped will provide different outcomes.
