Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Water down the white paint with water and brush on a light wash. Let dry.
Step 2:
- Center the mason jar template on the cutting board and begin to hammer a nail over each red dot.
- Continue until are all covered.
- Carefully remove the paper template making sure to not pull out any nails.
Step 3:
- Tie a knot in the jute around one of the bottom nails.
- Begin to outline the mason jar following the nails.
- When the entire jar is outlined and no nail is left bare, tie a knot in the jute making sure to pass the first knot.
Step 4:
- Water down a bit of the blue paint to create a light wash and add a brush stroke down the left side of the jar. This will help imitate a classic mason jar look!
Step 5:
- Wrap twine through the open handle of the cutting board and tie a knot to secure. Leave some excess in the middle to create a way to hang your string art. Wrap the jute on the other end and tie to secure.
Step 6:
- Fill and arrange with colorful silk flowers to match any room décor!
