*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.
