Birthday Week: DIY Dog String Art

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Ammo

Since I’m celebrating Birthday Week on the blog, I thought it would be fun to share a fun DIY for some dog inspired artwork! You’ll love this fun tutorial to add a little extra woof to your own home!

String Art isn’t a new concept, all you have to do is search pinterest and tons of examples will pop up. After seeing lots of fun renditions on the web I thought it would be fun to create my own design, with man’s best friend in mind!

DIY Dog String Art

Supplies:

String (I used Baker’s twine available at my shop)
Hammer
Small Brads
Scrap of Wood
Printed Text (I used “Woof” and you can download it HERE)

Step 1: Tape your printed type onto your block of wood. You can really use anything from shapes to various words and even logos.

Step 2: Nail your brads along the inner and outer edges of your text.

Step 3: Remove the paper.

Step 4: Tie your string to one of the nails and begin winding around them in every which direction. It helps if you outline each of the letters with string before filling them in.

Step 5: Continue this process for each of the letters until they are all filled in with string.

Congrats! You now have some fun dog-inspired string art!

I think it turned out pretty fantastic, and I can’t wait to come up with some more fun designs!

I can’t wait to see what fun string art you come up with! Be sure to share your String Art projects on my Facebook page!

Giving Back and Blanket ID Tags

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.

A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw // Ammo the Dachshund

I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.

Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw - Blanket ID // Ammo the Dachshund

My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!

Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!

You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.

Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part!
