String Kite

I saw several types of string art with words and hearts, and thought it would be cool to try one of my own.
I don't have time to finish it just yet, but by Friday hopefully I'll be able to upload pictures of a finished product ;)



Materials:
cork board
pins
string
scissors

Instructions:
Pick out a design that you want your string art to be and place a cutout of it on the board.  Then outline it with pins.



Remove the cutout, and add additional pins as you see fit.  Then, start stringing!



There's no particular order in which you should wrap the string, random is easiest.  First, you'll need to tie a knot around your first needle then just go back and forth between and around other pins until you're satisfied.  Once you're done, tie a knot around your final pin to keep everything from unraveling.



I'm obviously not done yet, but you can see an outline of the concept.  Grass, sky, and kite lol. It needs more pins to fill in all the gaps and additional string.
