Take a Break: Try Pulled String Art

 It’s cold, snowy and January. My eyes crave color. Loved this string art painting project  as it’s filled with color. I recommend watching the video below. Keep in mind that you can use embroidery floss, cotton string or other type of cord that will soak up color.

As for the color, again there are options, ink, liquid water colors, or watered down acrylics. If you are like me and you don’t have liquid water colors on hand, there are several ways to make liquid water colors:

•From dried up markers: Just soak in a little water

• Add droplets of liquid food coloring into water until desired shade is reached.

• Mix 4 oz of hot water with a Crayola watercolor paint oval (the type that come in trays). Mix until dissolved. 

They recommend a heavy book. Didn't have one on hand that I wanted to spare so used a National Geographic Magazine instead and it worked fine.
