String art

String art is a fun and creative way to make pictures out of thin, colorful strings. All you need is some colorful strings, a piece of wood or cardboard, push pins, and your imagination. To get started, first you have to make a design or pattern on paper, or draw a picture that you'd like to make. Then, you have to use push pins (or thumbtacks) to secure your string to the wood or cardboard. The pins get pushed into your design as you start to wrap the strings around and over the pins. As you keep going, you'll start to see your art come together until your design looks done. Once you're done, take out the pins and you'll have a gorgeous string art design!
