I am so excited to post this project.
I've seen string art a lot on Pinterest and decided to give it a try.
With the pallet I took apart in my last post I made the sign using my Kreg Jig to hold it together.
I've seen Kreg Jigs on a lot of DIY blogs and decided to give in and buy the Jr. version.
Let me tell ya,
BEST INVESTMENT EVER!!
I love it. I had to do some convincing while we were in Lowes to get Jefferson to let me buy it but once we got home and I showed him how it worked he kept saying how amazing it was!
Ok, the first step is to print or free hand draw the lettering that you want onto the wood. I printed and then nailed to nails to the paper and then ripped it off. I didn't really like the font I used so I free handed some of the nailing.
I used embroidery thread and outlined the letters first before I got going with all of the zig zagging.
This project is super time consuming. I think I spent between 3 and 4 hours on it (enter surprised emoji) (hint hint blogger)
It is just so cool! I love it so much!
Voila!
