String art can make a great personal gift, and it can be personalized to fit everyone's own taste.

Before getting started, you need to pick your base material. This tutorial uses a piece of stained wood, but you can create the same project with a piece of cork.

MATERIALS

Trace out the desired state for the project. I used Minnesota.

Cut out the pattern, tape it to the base item, and then apply the nails around the edge.

Start stringing the project. Then heart accent can be removed if desired.

Tie the ends of the thread, and then apply glue for a secure hold
