Overview
This heart artwork made from string is a lovely craft gift for Mum on Mother's Day. You'd be surprised how easy it is to make it look great.
Steps
Sand the ply panel edges
Give the edges of the ply panel a sand to smooth them out.
Stain the board
With your newspaper underneath to protect where you're working, use the paintbrush to give the ply panel a wood stain.
Draw a heart
After the stain has dried, use a pencil to draw a big heart in the middle of the project panel.
Add the nails
Carefully hammer in nails along the line you've drawn. Try and make them about 2-3cm apart.
Criss-cross the string
Tie the stringline to one of the nails and start criss-crossing it across the panel.
Run string around the outline
Tie the string on a nail and run it around the outline of the heart.
Tie the string off
Make a knot on a nail when you're finished to tie the string off.
