DIY String Art Tutorial

Step 10: Add a "Frame"

The last thing I did was to frame out the whole piece with some white duck tape. The edges were looking a little raggedly after I trimmed them and I wanted a cleaner look.

Here's the final result hanging in Knox's nursery.  I was ready to switch things up from the oil pastel art I created before he was born.  I really love how it turned out and because it's lightweight cork, I'm not stressed about hanging it over his crib (I'm always paranoid about stuff falling on him!)

TOTAL COST:  $56.88 (pretty good for a piece this big I think!)

Embroider floss:  $8.97
Linoleum nails:  $7.56
Hanging strips:  $10.38
Duck tape:  $3.00
