String Art

While trying to find some projects my 7th grade students could do, I came across these simple string art creations. I found these small panels of wood at Joann's. I got the smallest nails I could find at Ace Hardware and drew a mason jar on a piece of paper. Then I nailed the nails around the drawing. I pulled the paper off of the wood and tied a piece of string around a top nail. Then I placed the string around each nail and tied it when I got back to the start. On some of them, I varnished the wood and put dried flowers in the string. I added real flowers in others.
