String Art for Beginners - Step-by-Step - No Nails Needed!

Get my free string art patterns at jennifermaker.com/string-art-...
I really love how string art patterns gradually emerge from overlapping, criss-crossing threads. But, I really DON'T love the process of hammering dozens of nails in an intricate pattern. I like woodworking, but that's a lot of nails! So I'm sharing string art crafts that use carefully cut holes to create the same effect! They're super fast to prepare and threading the pattern is relaxing once you get the hang of it! In this video, I will show you how to make classic string art patterns with modern crafty technology!
