DIY: String Art World Map

For months I've been trying to find just the right piece of art to go over my living room couch.  I wanted to do something a little more creative than just pictures in frames. Finally after doing extensive searching on etsy.com, I came across string art, and the RambleandRoost etsy shop.  The owner has a ton of string art pieces, and one that struck me was a world map. I decided to try my hand at making my own version.
 
Materials Needed:
2' by 4' (purchased pre-cut at home depot)
world map (purchased on amazon.com)
1 can minwax polyshades in mission oak satin (purchased from home depot)
paint brush
2'' nails
household twine
power drill
screws
braces (for hanging)
 
1.Set out 2' by 4' piece of wood
2. Stain the piece of wood, front and back and let dry overnight
3. Place map directly in the center of the wood
4. Hammer in nails around the edges of land
 
 
 
5. Tie string around one nail and start winding string around nails.  See string art tutorial here
6. As you finish each land mass, cut away the map underneath
 7. Using a power drill, drill screws through braces into the back of the wood; next drill screws into the wall... then hang!

  1. Is that just normal plywood or did you use something thicker/fancier?

  5. Hooded eyelids are a common facial feature that owe their appearance to a small flap of excess skin under each eyebrow. They can also be referred to as “hooded eyes.”
    Like the color of your hair or the presence of attached earlobes, the shape of your eyes is just one of many genetic traits visible on your face.

  7. The well-structured email management system is a significant difference between Microsoft Outlook and other email management techniques. You might handle email accounts in Microsoft Outlook as a buyer or a client. Nonetheless, service users frequently encounter specific issues. Microsoft Outlook typically displays an error code, such as [pii email c1646d6cd617ef1be6ab].
