There are thousands of crafts you can make with string, but have you ever thought of painting with it? Yeah, it sounds a bit weird at first, but the result looks so amazing, people will never know it was painted with string! It's so simple yet satisfying to do!

Supplies

  • String, almost as long as your canvas (or paper)
  • Acrylic paint
  • A pair of gloves
  • A canvas or painting paper
  • A piece of cardboard or plastic to cover your workspace

First, cover the whole canvas with titanium white. Don't let it dry!

Time to Get Messy!

Put on your gloves and squirt some paint into a bowl or a dish with an edge. Take your string and mix it in the paint, except for the part you're holding.

Create Your Design!
