I’m not sure why, but string art has always scared me.  Maybe I simply over analyzed the process, but a weekend or two ago I decided to try my hand at it using hemp twine.  I think my DIY String Art on an all white pumpkin has a perfectly rustic feel and stays within my love for neutrals.

Supplies for Pumpkin String Art:
Pumpkin
White Spray Paint, optional
Nails with Flat Heads
Hemp Twine, #20
Pencil and/or Stencil

Step One:
Spray paint your pumpkin, if needed.

Step Two:  
Sketch or trace your artwork onto the pumpkin.  I did a (very) rough sketch of an R using a pencil.  You can see the faint pencil lines in the image below.

Tie end of hemp twine in a tight knot around a corner nail.  Start weaving.  I really didn’t use any rhyme or reason to how I wrapped the string and nail art…  as my husband and I always say, “the imperfections add character.”   So, I embraced any imperfections.

Step Five:
Tie off, knot and trim.

Regardless, I think it turned out perfectly sweet.  I love the neutral colors and, well, any form of twine knows how to make my heart go pitter patter.

    I love the look of the pumpkin. Was it difficult to keep the nails from being pulled out by the twine? What size nails did you use?
