What are some string art projects for kids?

Some string art projects for kids involve making 3D art or a painting. Wrapped jars and bottles are easy crafts for children to make with colored cord.

To make 3D string art, stick flat toothpicks into a Styrofoam block, making a grid. Weave different colored strings around the toothpicks to make a design. Tie the loose ends to a toothpick. String paintings involve dipping a piece of thread in poster paint and curling it on a piece of paper. Fold the paper in half, and rub it to transfer the design to both sides.

Using a clean, empty jar or bottle free of labels, make a string-wrapped vase or pencil holder. Spread glue on a portion of the jar, and carefully wrap the string on it in patterns.
