String Art with a Twist
Use plastic pony beads and lacing instead of embroidery floss.
On the third and fourth round of lacing, the skill sticks
will begin to bend. This string art form can rest on a table
top, or hang on a string.
String Art Using Yarn
Use yarn instead of embroidery floss for another interesting
effect. Beads can be added to the ending string and used as
the hanging loop.
