How to Make String Art With Yarn

This is one of my String Art Project, where I have used strings drawn in straight lines to make circles and beautiful geometric patterns.

Please go through the instructable to see how you can make this String Art very easily

• One solid Card Board without any hollows. I have used one from an old daily calendar
• Dark colored art paper or cloth preferably in black color
• String or yarn of your choice. I have used multi-colored knitting yarn here.
• Pins
• An A4 sized printing paper

• Take A4 sized printing paper and draw a circle to the maximum diameter with a drawing compass
• Draw a straight line through the center of circle anywhere connecting the circle

• Using a Protractor placed along the drawn line at center, mark points at 20 degrees intervals
• Connect the points with the center to outline of circles. This will give you 18 points on the circle

• Open up the black colored art paper and place the card board in it
• Mark required amount of Art paper to cover the card board with allowance to glue at the back
• Cut the art paper to size and glue it to the back of the card board
• Do not apply glue on the front

• Place the A4 sized white paper with the drawn pattern on the center of the Card Board
• Attach pins at each point on the circle. You can use a light hammer or mallet to drive the pins into the card board
• After driving the pins into the card board, remove the white paper with the pattern from board
• Now the pins are attached to the card board over the black colored art paper. If required, apply instant glue to keep the pins in position

• We got 18 pins attached on the circle at 20 degrees intervals. Let us start from any pin and number it as 1
• Tie the multi-colored yarn at number 1 pin, take it to number 6 pin and bring it back to number 18 pin
• Continue in this pattern, from 18 to 5, 5 to 17, 17 to 4, 4 to 16 and so on
• When you reach the number 1 pin at the end, the pattern drawn with the string will look like this at the last picture here.
• Tie the yarn at number 1 pin

Let us draw the circle's border with yarn

• Now our yarn is tied at number 1 pin
• Take the yarn to number 3 pin and bring it back to number 2 pin
• Draw yarn from 2 to 4 and back to 3, 3 to 5 and back to 4 and so on.
• After completing and reaching number 1 pin, the design will look like this at the last picture
• Tie the yarn at number 1 pin and trim excess

Display the board at any place of your choice at home. People will love it
