Hi I'm Melody on behalf of Expert Village we are going to continue on and show you some
of the things we are going to be using to make string art. This is what we are using
as our backboard our actual canvas in a way today. You could use a actual piece of plywood
or any kind of wood that is the dimension that you like. It could be something that
would fit into a frame in the future if you are making something specific. A lot times
people make them as actual piece of art involve in a painting they will have canvas and things
with sail on a ship and strings will be in the sails. We get into that later. I found
something kind of funky today like it will be a lot of fun to use as our string. We would
see what happens with that but the first thing you really need is to have some string. And
if you are just doing it for practice or doing it for fun you could actually use real string
white string in a ball it doesn't matter. You could use yarn, you could use decorative
actual strings and threads as long as they are thick enough and you would see as you
start to play with it what you want to use you would be happier with one thing or another.
I have a ruler that we would use to create our design because they have to be I won't
say exactly perfect but it sure does help when you get into some more intricate designs
we are just doing it beginners today. A pencil and we are using push pins today so we could
push into our cork board we are something that we would talk about in our next segment
is some nails some actual brass, copper, goldish color, very tall, very large headed nails
and we would talk about things like that as we go. Watch our next segment and we would
show you how we are going to prepare our board to come up with a design.
