It was only until recently I have discovered painted rocks as a fun and creative way for me and my daughter to spend time together and learn how to paint cute and funny creatures on the rocks.

Believe me, it’s so addictive that you will be searching for rocks around you to paint them all day long.

There is also a big community built around painting rocks and hiding them in the real world. Those could be inspirational quotes, cute animals or whatever you like.

The project also known as The Kindness Rock Project is encouraging people to leave rocks painted with inspiring messages along the path of life.

Another similar project is the one in Humboldt State University where students on the campus are hiding rocks and when they find them they can join a special Facebook group – called Rock’n HSU where they can connect with each other and share the location of the painted rocks, the sayings written on to them, etc.

As this is one of the biggest collections of painted rock ideas on the Internet we have created different sections to make it easier for you to access those that you like the most.

How To Make Painted Rocks

Even though the process of painting rocks may look very easy and straightforward there are some specifics that you should be aware of. Follow these 7 easy steps to learn how to paint rocks that look awesome.

1. Choose your rock. It’s best to have a smooth and flat rock with appropriate shape for your project. Well, you can paint any rock, but those that are more porous tend to absorb paint unevenly and could eventually ruin your masterpiece. You can find a suitable rock outdoors or get one from the local home improvement store.
2. Prepare the rock by washing it with soap as it may have some dirt on it and then let it dry.
3. Seal the rock with spray or brush. It will help you with stones that are more porous. If you want to achieve more contrast and vibrant colors you can prime the rock with white paint.
4. Start painting your rock. Use acrylic paint – it’s the best option as it lasts longer. You might need several coats of paint to get evenly colored surface. Don’t forget to let each coat to dry off before the next one.
5. Use very small brushes for the outlines and details. You must be extra careful as this step requires a lot of attention to each detail.
6. To write on the rock you can use permanent markers or sharpies. They are waterproof and are very easy to use.
7. Seal off the rock with a waterbase sealer that will protect it from damage.

Pro tip: Try your skills on some sample rocks so that you can get familiar with the process. The best thing is that even if you mess up things, you could always wash the paint while still wet and start over.

I’m sure you’ve seen beautiful string art designs all over Pinterest and craft blogs and you want to make your own, right? Why not?

It’s a lot of fun and anyone can do it. Let me guess, you don’t want to buy all the materials you’d need, ending up with tons of leftover materials?

The extra wood ( not to mention the garbage when cutting it ), a full can of stain, boxes of useless nails,  colored strings… nope!

That’s why string art kits are an awesome option. Everything you need to make your fabulous design at a fraction of the supply cost. Plus no cutting, sanding, or staining – stick to the fun part, right?

It also gives you the chance to start right away with your project – just open the kit box and you are ready to go!

Another great advantage of kits over the DIY string art projects is that it’s almost impossible to make it wrong. There are clear and detailed instructions for every step of the process so that the end result is what you would expect.

Easy to do by kids to boost their creativity and agility.

Boards and wood panels are pre-drilled so that you can just pin the needles or nails and start with the yarn. Colored yarns are available to achieve stunning results.

String art kits can maintain your or your kid’s imagination and creativity for a long time. They are also very popular for birthday gifts. Clear directions make creating string art easy and fun.

After the design is ready you can put it as wall decor in your kid’s room or anywhere that wall decoration is a nice fit.

1. Craft-tastic Peace Sign

The first kit that I would like to present to you is the Craft-tastic 3 in 1 – Peace Sign. Actually, you will get three unique string art designs – peace sign, “hi” word and heart.

2. Owl String Art Kit

If you like owls, this would be the perfect kit for you!

Plus, it is one of the best string art kits for adults because it is quite complex compared to the ones I already showed you.

3. Klutz String Art Kit

This is one is a bestseller on Amazon and it really deserves the title – multiple options and designs included as well as more than 50 pages of clear and detailed instructions. You can join your kid and have hours and hours of fun and joy.

If you spare some time to read the reviews about this product you will certainly feel that this one is the perfect gift for any kid that enjoys all crafty things.

The downside is that there’s nothing holding the pins firmly in place because they’re just pushed into the cardboard. Sometimes this could be a problem, but with some practice, you will master it.

4. Cactus String Art Kit

Everyone would agree the DIY string art kits are great for refreshing the boring interior at home. However, some of them are more cheerful and fun than others.

For instance, this blooming cactus string art kit surely can bring a positive vibe to every living room space or entrance hall.

9. Mandala String Art Kit

I find the “Magic Line” as one of the most interesting and eye-catching string art craft kits I’ve ever seen!

You can apply the same techniques to any other string art project.

For a simple DIY string art project you will need these materials:

• A piece of wood pursuant to the size of your project
• PC
• Printer
• Scissors
• Tape
• Linoleum nails (the amount depends on the size of your project; usually takes a small pack)
• Hammer
• Yarn or Embroidery Floss

If you do not have a printer at home, you can simply place a sheet of paper on the computer screen and copy the contour.

All templates are matched to a standard page that can be printed by a normal printer.

I’ve made all patterns and templates ready to print. You just need to scale up or down when you are in the print menu so that the template fits your media. Below each image is a download link with the high resolution version of the template. Although they are in .jpg variant instead of .pdf, they can be printed on all devices.

For some of the free printable string art patterns, you do not have to necessarily hammer a nail at each point, but still, they have to be enough to keep shape and contour.

Although it is not difficult, there are a few things to look out for:

• Safety comes first! Make sure you won’t hurt some of your fingers with the hammer.
• Use a perfectly smooth piece of wood for a better result.
• Stick the sheet of paper with some tape to the wood so it does not move anywhere.

By the way, you can use a foam board and needles instead of a wooden board and small nails. This option is easier to make, but it is much more unstable and fragile. Besides, it is usually used for string art for kids because it is safer.

If you do not want to buy the different materials, you can buy a kit that has everything ready for you.

It is not a secret that we love wine! We know what to do with the elixir closed in the bottle. But how about the bottle after the wine is gone?

Don’t throw it away as we have prepared an amazing collection of non-standard and beautiful ideas that will add a point of interest to your interior or exterior.

Get to know the best craft ideas that will give new life to the glass bottles and will let you recycle them in a more attractive way!

1. Cut Glass Bottles with Thermal Shock Effect

You may have thought that cutting a glass bottle is impossible but not anymore. You can do it using the thermal shock effect. Get a string and pass it through the glass.

Detach the bottom and start placing polka dots on the glass following a pattern you like.

Spray paint over the dots and then carefully remove them.

Then place a candle on the bottom and assemble both parts together.

via Madame Criativa

2. Turn Wine Bottles into Eye-Catching Succulent Planters

The wine bottles can be turned into succulent planters. Cut the top part and then fill it in with sand and suitable potting mix.

This glass planter can beautify a windowsill, a mantle or can be used also as a table centerpiece.

via Melted Bottle

3. Transform Wine Bottles into Decorative Art Pieces with Paint

Although one of the easiest DIY wine bottle transformation projects, it has a great decorative impact, especially when a few bottles are grouped on a shelf.

First cover the external surface of the glass with a thick coat of white paint. Then get a newspaper or a book and draw patterns of images you like.

Gluing them onto the surface can be done with a Mod podge.

via The Wicker House

4. Rustic and Modern DIY Wine Bottle Chandelier

6. Upcycle Wine Bottles with Decoupage For Unique Designs

This way they can be reused many times by storing different alcohol in them.

via DIY Elanka

7. Create a Unique 3D Design with Torn-Paper Decoupage

This technique is very similar to the decoupage. The difference comes with the entireness of the image.

Instead of gluing an image, it is torn into pieces that are glued onto the glass to create a volumetric surface thanks to the overlapping of the pieces.

This technique can be applied by using an old world map, book pages, colorful paper scrap pieces.

via Karen Kavett

8. Glam Up Your Home with a Glitter-Covered Wine Bottle Décor

This wine bottle can be used as a Christmas decor or as a glam accent on a shelf.

Making it is an easy task- sand the entire glass surface and then cover it with an acrylic sealer. Pour glitter on a paper and start rolling the glass surface in the glitter.

via Jenny On The Spot

9. Transform Wine bottles into Modern Planters

If you cut a wine bottle into halves, you can turn it into a modern planter that will require almost no maintenance.

The neck-half will be holding the plant, the other one will water it. Use mesh to protect the soil from falling into the neck. Attach a few cord lengths at the mesh bottom which will transport the water to the roots.

Then fill the mesh with soil and plant the flower.

via Cheap Crafting

10. Build a Vibrant Bottle Centerpiece for Your Backyard

Are you looking for a craft that will anchor interest in your backyard? This bottle centerpiece will surely do.

Once the holes are drilled (one on each side), attach a plate or a saucer to the bottom using epoxy.

via The Garden-Roof Coop

12. Transform Your Wine Bottles Into Beautiful Candle Holders

Similar to other projects, a wine bottle is cut into halves with a glasscutter bit.

Both of the halves can be turned into candle holders with different designs.

via Invite and Delight

13. Inexpensive Themed Décor with Painted Wine Bottles

The new layer gives a lot of decoration possibilities. Use lace, pearls, gems, faux flowers to make the bottle unique.

19. Peeking Mummy DIY Wine Bottle Craft for Halloween

The best thing about DIY crafts is that you can turn boring objects into extraordinary items. For example, a piece of yarn can become a sweater or a cardboard box can become literally anything you (or your kids) can think of.

While we are in love with all sorts of crafts, we really like the ones that use items we already have on hand.

What To Make With Coffee Filters?

One such item that we always have on hand is a regular box of coffee filters. Coffee is essential to our daily routine. We’re sure we’re not the only ones.

via One Little Project

If you have a box of coffee filters, you can easily turn a few of them into an adorable springtime craft – DIY coffee filter dancers! To make one dancer, you’ll need 2 coffee filters, a pair of scissors, washable markers, a tiny elastic and 2 pipe cleaners.

I know what you’ll ask, and no, permanent markers won’t work. Put those Sharpies away ( or at least for this project only ).

If you have kids, you probably already have some colorful and washable markers in your house. The washable part is essential so that the colors bleed and create the rainbow watercolor effect on the dancer’s dress.

It’s also helpful to have a baking sheet on hand. The baking sheet creates a mess-free surface or at least less-mess area for you (or your kids) to create this easy DIY craft. 

Gather your supplies, and then watch the video below to see how easy it is to make these beautiful dancers.

Debbie from One Little Project explains everything in details in a step by step tutorial which you can find: HERE

What we really love about it is how adding just a few drops of water causes the colors to blend and create such lovely shades on the dresses. You could get even more creative and use a variety of colors to make endless variations and effects on each dress. 

For a pinkish dress, try reds, purples, oranges and of course, pinks.

For a bluish dress, try blues, greens and purples.

For a yellowish dress, try yellows and oranges.

We can’t stress out how easy this craft is. Even a toddler or child as young as pre-school age would enjoy coloring and mixing colors on the coffee filters with the markers and dripping the water on top to see the colors blend and change.

It’s a good educational craft project that shows how colors blend together. In our book, this craft totally counts as at-home arts and sciences.

These dancers would be beautiful spring decor. We can also picture young children making them dance around the dining room table!

Have you ever made a craft with coffee filters before?  

Don’t forget to visit One Little Project for all the supplies and steps to make these beautiful coffee filter dancers.

These quilling cards are created with such tremendous attention to each detail that I was really stunned by Neli’s creativity and professional work.

I’m pretty sure that photos don’t do any justice to the real masterpieces.

The art of coiling and shaping narrow paper strips to create a design is known as paper quilling.

Quilling Cards With Flowers

These make for some very lovely cards for people that are into gardening, and they even look fantastic for anyone that wants an endearing gift.

They come in a variety of floral appearances, from either having sunflowers, daisies, tulips, or roses!

There are also cards that have other items that could relate to them, such as a bike holding a basket of flowers or some hearts added in the mix.

These are great for loved ones you want to give some happiness to!

Fall Decor Paper Quilling Cards

Many people have their own favorite seasons, but fall tends to win people over!

Quilling cards capture everything great about the season, from the leaves changing colors to squirrels and acorns preparing for hibernation!

Even pumpkins get to have the spotlight despite some thinking that they belong in Halloween.

There are also nice looking cards that include all the other fruits and vegetables that are generally seen during Thanksgiving!

Marine Themed Quilling Cards

If your loved one is into nautical nonsense, then they’ll love stuff like seashells, sailor patterns, & the ocean on their cards!

There are also ones with mermaids on them, anchors and boat wheels for all those sailors that want to go across the seas, and lighthouses that can feel somewhat nostalgic if they’ve ever seen them shine their lights across the cloudy oceans.

For the friendly reminders of going to the beach, cards with chairs can work wonderfully for the occasion!

Framed Quilling Cards – Wall Decor

Why not let your loved ones enjoy a card that’s almost as nice as a painting or portrait on a wall with a card that looks just like wall decor?

They can represent flowers that can fill in the gap of having plants at home, vibrant wall art that almost feels like it’s from another world, birds and bees to add a bit of appreciation for nature, and so much more!

Between the designs looking abstract and vibrancy of the colors they have, these cards make a great addition for any rooms that could use a bit more life in them!

Quilling Cards For Kids or Birthday

Don’t just give your friend or someone’s child a flat card with licensed pictures; give them a card with quality added all over it!

Their designs consist of the words “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” with candles or balloons implemented on them, butterflies or flowers over the two celebratory words, a child holding a bunch of multicolored balloons, and even adorable little critters that have birthday hats and confetti to put a smile on the birthday boy/girl!

Even if there are certain franchises or characters that they like, quilling cards celebrating birthdays go an extra step beyond what they offer with imagery that feels more personal and warm!

If you wanted to, you can also write down any personal notes to show who wrote the card, who signed it, and even add some money as a nice little treat!

Music Inspired Paper Quilling Cards

Music lovers will be hooked on these kinds of cards, especially when they have music notes or instruments on them!

If your loved one is into the electric, they’ll easily love a card that has the instrument with color added to present how much love gets put by the user!

Are they fans of the saxophone? A card that has the instrument playing its music notes will make for the best visual representation of what makes the instrument so fantastic!

Other options that are inspired by music, from record players old and new, to cards that are drawn to exactly look like pianos, and violins with music note strings representing the sound they make, what’s not to love with music-themed quilling cards?

Even a simple music note card makes for a great detail to have on a card!

Christmas is such a joyous season. You are sure to see all types of crafts while holiday shopping and even paper quilling cards.

You see gifts on sale, and you begin to plan and develop your new holiday season! You love Christmas! Well, you are not alone.

Yuletide is not only popular but sacred, hopeful, and a religious time of the year.

When you send cards this year, send quilled Christmas cards! The special people in your life, will pick up their phone, and call you!

You will bring smiles to people’s faces. Yes, send Christmas Quilling Cards, this year! You will be imbued with the holiday spirit.

So, Just What Are Quilling Cards?

Let’s face it- people are creative. Smile. Everyone has gifts when it comes to new ideas, using craft resources in different ways, and creating small masterpieces.

This holiday season you can make Christmas Quill Cards so easy, and beautiful, you will be proud of yourself.

You are sending a message to others, that Christmas is special to you. People will notice you go the extra mile to send holiday wishes-especially one of the kind wishes!

You simply take craft supplies, fabric bits, and any creative media to create a card that uplifts off its stock! It’s amazing eye- catching and beautiful.

Some people save the Quill Cards they receive, as a memorable item.

Quilling Cards Are Easy To Make!

No need to worry about getting special instructions to make cards.

You have all the resources you need, and more.

Some resources are sitting right in your home. Others you can pick up at a craft store, cut up old Christmas cards, fabric, buttons, and even plastic chips.

The trick is to make a mosaic of sorts! You need to save old recycled stuff, and turn it into a masterpiece card.

When your family, cousins, and friends open up your card, they will know you love them. It is inevitable!

Now, do you have a gradma or aunt who sews? Ask them, if they have a button collection. Take the buttons, and place them on some paper stock shaped like a tree.

They should be shaped somewhat of a triangle. Glue them on. Find some ribbon from an old gift, that you have not thrown away.

Do you have any glitter around?

Those three things are just the start of your Christmas card art.

Moreover, some people make art eco-friendly. They take colored sand and glue it on a floor or tile. Do this with a card. Have a look at a rangoli.

They are a perfect specimen of what you can make geometrically, create art, and have something unique! Have a look at the rangolis on: Rangoli Designs

They are amazing.
Pick some wildflowers that are blooming late, and dry them out. Place them on your cards. Many people simply buy fake flowers and pull them apart for the petals.

They can be purchased inexpensively at dollar shops. The fact that your card is three dimensions, says that you are bringing real joy to someone. The card is not flat, with rote sayings.

It stands out! It has a message. It is a work of art. It is a piece of humanity.

However, Don’t Forget This For Your Quilling Cards!

Say you are making a quilling card with a fabric which should not be stapled or taped.

Stapling or taping takes away from the beauty of the card. Make sure you have a glue gun- it’s the easiest way to make objects and fabric items stick.

It is quick and convenient as well. Glue guns are a must, and they come in large or small sizes.

Glue sticks are easy to put in your glue gun-voila- that braid sticks- or that piece of red fabric adheres- or a lightweight button stays on!

This makes your Quill Card a one of a kind treasure.

Here Is a Quick List Of Items You Can Use To Decorate Your Quilling Cards:

This Christmas will be so much fun. Your relatives and friends will call you, email you, or send a card back quickly when they receive your beautiful Quill Card.

Sure, you can buy them online, and in stores- however; it is great when they are made by the sender!

LIST OF ODDS AND END ITEMS:

Before browsing all these mason jar string art ideas, let’s define what string art is and especially mason jar string art.

String art is a creative way to recreate paintings and decorations using a string and forming the contour with nails which you need to follow with yarn.

There are thousands of amazing ideas to create, but mason jars are very popular.

Supplies needed:

• Mason Jar String Art Pattern
• Computer and a printer to print it ( if you do not have a printer at home, you can copy from the computer screen – quite primitive option but it works great).
• Wood board – 10×18 inch is perfect
• Wire nails – I used approx. 80-100 pcs ( Nickel colored if possible )
• Hammer
• Tape
• 2 rolls of yarn – white and pink
• Faux flowers
• Scissors

How to make a Mason Jar with string

1. Print mason jar template.
2. Select a board(or cut one) that is big enough for your project
3. Stain the board
4. Start on one corner of the jar pattern and mark every 1/2-3/4 inch on the lines.
5. Attach your paper to the board using tape
6. Using a drill to make holes for the nails
7. Remove the paper
8. Place a towel down and then your board. Using a hammer, nail in the nails about half way
9. Tie on your string and go around the outline of your jar at least 2 times but more is fine.
10. End your string where you started and tie the strings together. Cut the string.
11. Add your flowers or other fun to your vase!

1. Refresh Your Room with a Pink Stringed Flower Jar

This attractive jar is outlined with a light pink string that perfectly complements the pink and white flowers.

Adding some color to the jar with a different string is a wonderful way to make a design pop and to help set it apart from other similar designs.

The full jar of flowers seems to pop off of the board, making the flowers look realistic.

2. Add Daisies and a Heart to Your Burlap String Art

Bright daisies are complemented by the light pink heart on the front of the jar.

The important thing about adding a solid design to the front of a mason jar string art piece is to ensure that there is enough string to make the heart seem solid.

This helps it to pop off of the art rather than blending in and getting lost or downplayed by the bright flowers.

3. Get a Rustic Look with a Zig Zag String Mason Jar

Everyone loves zig zags.

Not only are they fun and a little more exciting than just an outline, but they also add a lot of movement to the art and to the appearance of the jar itself.

Rather than having the art you make look flat and still, by adding zig zags you can make sure that it looks festive and as though it has natural movement.

4. Make a String Mason Jar with Ease

Sometimes you just want some simple art to hang on your wall, and that’s when it’s a good idea to do a simple outline with the “Ball” name on the front of the jar.

This prevents the jar from looking too busy and overwhelming, which is great when it is going to be displayed around a lot of other art. Adding bright flowers helps the art to pop.

5. Welcome Fall with a Beautiful String Mason Jar

Fall colors are gorgeous, and attractive fall leaves and flowers look even nicer when they are displayed on an attractive wood board and with a full and busy string art jar.

Using a lot of thinner string and making sure that the jar is mostly covered helps to prevent the jar from looking bare or empty and adds movement and design to the art.

6. Celebrate Harvest Season with a Blue String Mason Jar

Bold blue string really helps to set this mason jar string art apart from others that you have seen in the past.

The blue of the string perfectly complements the dark wood background as well as the lighter wheat that is in the jar. Thanks to the use of monochrome browns behind the blue, the blue pops and is easily seen.

7. Add Color to a Hanged String Jar with Tulips

Adding longer strings to make it look like your jar is hanging is a fun way to update string hard.

This also allows for the inclusion of longer stemmed flowers, like bright purple tulips.

The longer stems won’t look out of place, thanks to the long strings hanging the jar. Using an attractive horizontal weaving on the jar helps make it look more solid and full.

8. Achieve a Modern Look with a Geometric String Jar

An open angular design ends up looking very geometric, which is fun and a little different from other jars that are simply outlined.

Keeping the string thinner helps the geometric design of the jar to pop off of the board and allows it to really shine.

By pairing the jar with an oval board and loose and airy flowers, the whole piece of art has movement and doesn’t appear too sharp.

9. Use a Rustic Wood for a Farmhouse String Jar

Neutral string can blend in a lot when used on natural wood tones, but simply washing the wood with a blue paint helps the jar to stand out.

The light colors of the flowers are reminiscent of an old farmhouse, and the painted “HOME” down the side of the art helps to establish feelings of love and remembering being with family.

10. Make a Statement with a String Bow

There’s no reason that the flowers in your mason jar string art can’t be tied with a nice to bow to keep them all together.

This jar has a simple outline that is then offset with a longer organic bow. The flowers, along with the bow, prevent the jar from looking too plain and help make this piece of art stand out from a gallery wall.

When you’re ready to decorate your space in a unique and exciting way, then consider turning to one of these fun designs for inspiration.

I am pretty sure that everyone has seen some eye-catching Mason jar string art design ideas on Pinterest or somewhere else. Once I started to search for some of those, I was basically stunned by the human creativity and talent. 

Sometimes I think the string art is too difficult for me, however, you can’t be 100% sure if you don’t try. That’s why I decided to give it a go. 

It took me some solid time to create a Mason jar string art that really looks nice but I am getting better and better. 

Here are some of my ideas that I want to share with you. Hope you’ll get inspired by them! 

Before to start, I just want to tell you that there is an option to buy a Mason jar string art kit right from the shop, check out the link,  however I’ve decided to be a bold DIY warrior. 🙂 

Let’s have a look at each step of my DIY Mason jar string art process.

Preparation:

First, I had to find a Mason jar template that I could use. Believe it or not, that was quite a difficult task. (For your own convenience, we have prepared 30 String Art patterns which you can download for free.)

So after 2 hours of searching, I finally found what I have been looking for (and now I do not even remember where I found it) 🙂 As I browsed tens if not hundreds of pages until I finally found something that would do the job.

If you prefer watching the video here it is: 

I thought a simple Mason jar is a very boring string art project. That’s why I added a cute heart in the middle.  ( so original, right? ). There was a bit of a fitting process but finally, I had what I want! Hooray!

By the way, you can download the single Mason jar pattern and the Mason jar + heart pattern at the end of this post where there is a direct download link.

Once I had the ideal template, I started to plan the yarn color and the flowers. 

At home, I’ve found two types of artificial flowers – white roses and alpine flowers, both of which seemed very appropriate (you’ll see the final result in a little while). By the way, you can buy another type of faux florals to fit your interior and personal taste. 

As for the yarn, I chose a lucent yarn in white and pink color, but you can customize by choosing any other depending on the color of the wood pad … and once I said a wooden pad…

The next essential thing is the wooden pad – its kind, size and color. The Mason jar string art template can increase or decrease in the printing process so that it stays symmetrically on the pad. I had a 10×18 inch wooden pad and I used it to fit both the Mason jar and the flowers.

You can buy a wooden pad in almost every Dollar shop or you can simply use an old chopping board you don’t use anymore. 

Before starting the project, place the Mason jar string art on the wooden pad and add the flowers the way you would like them to be arranged to make sure their dimensions are fitting well.

After these important notes, I guess we are ready to start creating but let’s take a look at the list of the materials needed for the Mason jar string art project. 

Materials needed:

• Mason Jar String Art Pattern – download it HERE
• Computer and a printer to print it ( if you do not have a printer at home, you can copy from the computer screen – quite primitive option but it works great).
• Wood board – 10×18 inch is perfect
• Wire nails – I used approx. 80-100 pcs ( Nickel colored if possible )
• Hammer
• Tape 
• 2 rolls of yarn – white and pink
• Faux flowers
• Scissors

Once you have everything prepared, it’s time to start with the creative part!

1. Place the wooden pad on a table or a flat surface.

2. On the lower part place the Mason jar template.

3. Stick the paper template to the wooden pad and make sure it does not move.

4. Start to hammer nails from the top left by following the contour. There are not exact rules and defined places, just trust your gut, where you have curves. Try to imagine how the yarn runs on the nails so that you can capture the contour more accurately. 

5. Once you hammer all the nails of the Mason jar, do the same with the heart in the center. Here it is better to crumble more often because you will make your heart not just with a contour but also thick colored.

Do not worry if the nails are not quite straight or even, it is important to keep the contour (and keep your fingers as well)!

6. Start with yarn straining on the nails, starting again from the top left of the Mason jar. Make a node on the very first nail, so that it does not untie. You need to wrap the string around each nail before moving to the next one.

7. Remove the paper template.

8. Stretch the pink yarn across opposite nails by gradually filling your heart. You do not need to follow a strict sequence, but eventually crawl the outer edge of the heart to get the perfect shape.

9. Arrange the flowers to your liking. 😉

It’s beautiful, isn’t it? You can easily customize this string art project by choosing yarn in a different color or by switching the heart with the first letter of your name. Let your creativity run wild!
