Corrie’s Craft of the Month

Mason Jar StringArt

With Mother's Day just around the corner, here's a perfect project for the mothers in your life.

Supplies:

Piece of wood, cork, or old cutting board

Mason Jar template (@ Jerrol's)

Wire nails (40-50)

Hammer

Yarn

Flowers (real or fake)

Drill (for making a hole at the top)

1. Cut the template in half. Choose if you want to use the one with the number guide or not.

2. Place the template where you want it on your board. Make sure to leave some room at the top for the flowers. (my board is 8.5x11 and is the smallest I would go)

3. Hammer the nails through the paper template and partway through your board. Make sure to not let the nails poke through to the back of your board.

4. Once all the nails are in your board rip off the paper template.

5. Take your yarn and tie a knot around nail one (if you're using the guide) or any nail if you want to make up your own pattern. (which is what I did) Wrap the yarn around each nail in whatever pattern you are doing. There is really no wrong way to do this. Tie off the yarn on your last nail.

6. Arrange flowers in your jar, real or fake works.

7. Drill two holes at the top of your board and use yarn to hang it.
