DIY String Art Ornaments

Hello all U-Create readers!  Angie here with The Country Chic Cottage and Crafts with Jars.  I am thrilled to be guest posting my handmade ornaments here today.
I came up with some DIY string art ornaments that will make a unique addition to your Christmas tree.  Plus I know my kids love to make string art so this should be one the whole family enjoys.  In fact, the Christmas tree version below was all my son’s idea.

You will need:

  • Round wood shapes
  • Wood glue
  • Hole punch sturdy enough to punch wood or drill with drill bit
  • Craft paints
  • Small nails
  • Hammer
  • Baker’s twine
  • Ribbon
  • Hot Glue

Start with your round shapes and either a hole punch or drill.  Put a hole in all of your shapes in the same location.  Stack your shapes with wood glue between each one.  Allow to dry as recommended on the bottle.  Paint shapes on front, back, and sides with your desired color of craft paint.

Use a pencil to mark holes where your nails will be located.  Put a nail in each location being sure not to go all the way through your stacked shapes.  Use baker’s twine to wrap your nails and create string art.  Start on your first nail by knotting off your baker’s twine and end with a knot as well.

Cover the exposed edges of your ornament with ribbon using hot glue to secure.  Add some ribbon for hanging on your Christmas tree as well.

The possibilities are infinite for the shapes you can create with this string art.  Maybe make one with each of your kids’ initials?  Or a fun chevron pattern?  What shape would you make your DIY string art ornaments?
