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!
