Easy DIY: String Art without the String

I came up with this simple doodle after seeing some great string art on Pinterest. You can get a similar, two-dimensional look if you don't have nails or string!

Simple draw the outline of whatever shape you want (a letter, a heart, a star, a state outline) and add evenly spaced dots (like the nails of a traditional string art) in light pencil. Then you simply draw straight lines from one dot to another, filling in the center of each shape. When you're done, erase your pencil outline and you're good to go!

 

 

If you do have nails and string, you can be inspired by these great examples on Pinterest like I was!
