Cool Cool String Art

First, you need to have everything you need. Choose the color of spray paint you need. You need a board that is long enough for the word you want and make sure it's not too long. You need a hammer and a decent amount of nails, depending on how long the word is. You also need a lot of strong string in whatever color you choose.

Paint

When you are done with painting and it is done drying. You're ready to start the third step!

Nails!

The nails should have enough space for the string. Leave at least 3/4 of an inch for the string.

When you are done with the nails and they have enough room for weaving, you need to get your string.

First Step for Weaving

You need to tie the string at the edge where you want to start. Starting at corners are a little easier.

Starting Weaving

Before you start going at it with the weaving, you need to have an outline for the string so it keeps its shape.

Technique

You don't really need to be neat with the weaving. When it looks more like it's overlapping it look Cool Cool.

First One Done

Your letters should look like they are full, but you can still see a little bit of blue through the string.

Done With First Color

When you are done with the first color you are ready to start with the outline of the letters.

Outline

The outline is just like how you started the weaving. It should look like it is bolding the letters and it stand out.

Finished!!!
