Framed String Art

So I had seen a lot of string art on Pinterest (like this one) where people make the outline of their state and put a little heart in the middle. I liked this concept so I decided to try a similar technique but with a design that was a little more abstract.

This project started when I was perusing through the reject section of IKEA (a magical place for someone like myself). I found a set of glass doors that had been for a cabinet, or something of that sort. For this project I broke the glass pane out of the center of one of those doors, then nailed baby nails around the entire outside edge. After that I secured some wooden rings (from Michael's) with the string in the center.


I'm quite pleased with the final design and the graphic pop that it provides on the wall in my home.
