On the back of the wood, install the picture hanging hardware so you can hang up your piece when you are finished. It was fun! After I had the wood sanded and painted, the actual nails and string art took about two hours.


Overall, I did not think this state string art project was hard. Hopefully you'll get some tips from both sources to make this state string art project go smoothly. I will post here what I did to make this, and you can compare with Moriya's tutorial. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and some great DIYs for the home. I really found myself enjoying her blog, and laughing out loud. I'm not sure if she was the first to come up with this or not, but it was her photo with a heart around the city that made me want to make one of these for Cleveland, Ohio. she has a complete tutorial and great photos. I did find Moriya from The Harpster Home blog. but since the actual idea is not mine I wanted to hunt down some original sources. The wall space is small but a square piece of work is what I needed. I was looking for a piece of art to place on our side wall in our main foyer. But the tutorial can be followed to make any type of string art - only the pattern changes. This tutorial is going to describe the top left photo above, the state of Ohio. Popular in the 70's but now we are seeing it everywhere these days - even at Target. Plates, cups, napkins, and utensils were all solid yellow from the dollar store.String art is back folks. I love how cheap and reusable and festive and easy to store tissue paper decorations are. The rest of the decorations were tissue paper garland and fans and balls left over from previous parties. I’ve always used Publisher for that in the past, but now that we have a Mac, I found an app called PosteRazor that allowed me to print a saved photo out on multiple pages, then I trimmed the edges with my rotary cutter, and taped them together.

It turns out that one of those limits is throwing the same party for the same people two weekends in a row. We’ve moved parties early and late to accommodate the new arrivals, and for the past few years Bobby and Gus have shared a party since they have the same interests and friends and even I have limits. But, as a testament to my extraordinary doggedness, I have kept it up. Which was all fine and good until we ended up with four kids’ birthdays in the thirty-seven days between October 26th and December 2nd. I’m not saying that every kid NEEDS that, just that it’s something I personally decided I wanted to do for my kids. I vowed that each of my kids would have a homemade birthday cake and a party every year, no matter how many of them we ended up with. I latched on to birthday parties as The Thing I had to maintain to make it Not Weird to have this many kids.
