How to Make a String Art Heart Card

1. Prepare a piece of square card stock. Choose a light colour to really make your string art heart pop!

Using a lead pencil, lightly draw a heart shape onto the paper. Then draw a series of dots all around the heart layout, keeping even gaps between the dots, around 1cm apart. Use the needle to pierce the paper, making a tiny hole on each of the dots you have drawn.

Prepare the needle with your choice of thread. Tie a knot at the open end of the thread.

2. Draw the needle from the backside of the paper through any one hole along the heart layout.

3. Draw the needle all the way to a hole on the opposite side of the heart and pull it through to the reverse side. Don’t pull the thread to tight or the card may buckle.

4. Draw the needle to the front side again, through the next hole along (moving clock-wise).

5. Take the needle across to the hole on the opposite side of the heart and thread it through to the back again.

6. Repeat this process – moving clockwise around the heart, stitching through opposite holes.

7. Once the stitching is complete, draw the needle through to the back side of the paper. Tie a knot and cut off any extra thread.
