DIY Valentine String Art Decor Idea For Kids To Make

I’ve been on a roll lately with sharing Valentine’s Day themed kid crafts, that I haven’t shared anything crafty for adults per-say. Well – that nonsense stops today with this Valentine String Art Decor craft.

This craft is super easy {even for the novice} and makes for great inexpensive decor to celebrate the “lovestruck” holiday. With just a simple white canvas, some pony beads and some pretty twine – you too can pull it together in minutes!

Ready to learn how? Just follow the simple step-by-step tutorial below and create your one-of-a-kind piece today! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your string art heart canvas on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see what you create! #gluedtomycrafts

Heart String Art Craft Supplies:

* Blank White Canvas {any size you like!}
* Paper Heart Doily {again, any size as long as it fits on the canvas!}
* Plastic Pony Beads {any color you like!}
* Hot Glue Gun
* Pencil
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Baker’s Twine {any color you like!}

The Directions:

* First decide where you want your heart shape design on the canvas. Place your paper heart doily there.
* Using the paper heart doily as a template – make pencil marks along the edge, leaving some space between each mark.
* Get your hot glue gun ready and glue a pony bead on top of each pencil mark. {I glued my pony beads sideways so the tying off of the twine would be easy, but you can place them however you like}
* Once all the pony beads are glued down, you should have a heart shape on your canvas.
* Next grab your twine and tie it off on one of the pony beads. This is your stringing starting point.
* Carefully start wrapping the twine around each pony bead to make the string art design. Whether you go left to right or in a random way – really make it your own! Continue wrapping the twine around until you get the design you like.
* Once done, tie off the twine so all your hard work won’t come undone. Then display proudly!

Super fun, right? And of course – you can change up things to really make it your own. Create other shapes besides the normal heart OR change up the colors/add other embellishments. I just hope I got the crafty wheels spinning for you!
