CIY Staff Tips:
- The watered-down white paint helps the string glide around the canvas more smoothly. White paint should be smooth without being too runny.
- Experiment with different techniques of applying paint and pulling string for a unique piece of wall art!
Steps:
1
Pour white acrylic paint into disposable cup.
2
Thin paint by adding a small amount of water. Mix with paintbrush.
3
Cover canvas with thin layer of white paint.
4
While white paint is wet, add horizontal lines of other paint colours across canvas.
5
Place string on top of each paint colour.
6
Add another line of paint on top of string.
7
Unbend outside of paper clip to create hook.
8
Loop paper clip under top string and pull down the canvas. Hook all pieces of string along the way.
9
Display or hang your colourful canvas as DIY wall art!
