Mini Desktop 3D String Art

In this Instructable you will create a simple wooden frame, drill some holes in it, then weave string through it to create the look of a curve.
As I said in the name, it is miniature, so you can put it on your desk, your night table, your microwave, really anywhere.
This Instructable was inspired by this other one, here, which I followed and hung the result up on my wall, because it was too large for my desk.

Be sure to read all of my image notes; they have important information in them.

Let's get started.
