*You can use any colors
of paint that you would like for this project*
Instructions:
1)
Choose where you
will do the project. (If you do the project inside, lay down a tarp so that you
don’t get paint everywhere.)
2)
Start by tying the
twine to one piece of furniture/object then tie it to another object. Keep
tying the twine to a couple different objects until you are satisfied with the
design the twine makes in the middle between all the objects/furniture you tied
the twine to.
*Make sure to keep
the twine low to the ground*
3)
After you have
finished tying the twine around the objects/furniture you chose. Lay the art
board underneath the desired area of twine.
4)
Now take your
first color of paint, I used my blue first; Start to apply the paint to one of
the strands of twine that is above the art board.
5)
Now use your
fingers (If you don’t want to get paint all over your hands, you can use
gloves) to pull the twine up and then let go of the strand, so that the paint
hits the art board making a line and some splatter and repeat with the same
strand to make the color appear a bit darker or until desired result.
6)
Take your second
color of paint, I used my red next; Apply the paint to a different strand of
twine that is above your board.
7)
Use your fingers
again to pull that strand of twine and let go to make the paint hit the board
making another line and repeat a few times to make the color appear a bit
darker or until desired result.
8)
Take your third
color of paint, I used my yellow next; Apply the paint to a different strand of
twine that is above the board.
9)
Use your fingers
again to pull that strand of twine and let go to make the paint hit the board
making another line and repeat a few times to make the color appear a bit
darker or until desired result.
*You can use any
colors that you want to use for this project*
10) Keep repeating steps 4-9 with all you colors to the
rest of the strands of twine that covers and is above your board until you are
satisfied with your results.
