String Art: a fun and easy craft for the summer!

Posted on by Art-Creations

Wanting a new craft to try over the summer? 

String art is an easy, inexpensive, and exciting craft for all ages! 

All you need is a pad of paper, thin yarn, a paintbrush and paint.

We at Art Creations have found that using the GOLDEN High Flow acrylic paint makes for the best outcome; the thinner the paint, the better!

First, apply the paint to the yarn and randomly place the yarn between two sheets of paper. Next, press the top page down

and hold while you pull out the string from between the two pages and vwa-lah! You have made string art!

For more examples and explanations, search "string art" on Youtube.

Art Creations is now having a special offer on GOLDEN High Flow Acrylics!
