Pull String Canvas Painting
A unique take on paint! Use pulled string to create a DIY canvas painting & one-of-a-kind design.
Steps:
1 Pour white acrylic paint into disposable cup.
2 Thin paint by adding a small amount of water. Mix with paintbrush.
3 Cover canvas with thin layer of white paint.
4 While white paint is wet, add horizontal lines of other paint colors across canvas.
5 Place string on top of each paint color.
6 Add another line of paint on top of string.
7 Unbend outside of paper clip to create hook.
8 Loop paper clip under top string and pull down the canvas. Hook all pieces of string along the way.
9 Display or hang your colorful canvas as DIY wall art!
CIY Staff Tips:
- The watered-down white paint helps the string glide around the canvas more smoothly. White paint should be smooth without being too runny.
- Experiment with different techniques of applying paint and pulling string for a unique piece of wall art!
