Hi, everyone! Sewing on handmade cards is really popular these days! But have you tried making a card with embroidery floss and thread without ever doing a single stitch? Teri<\/a> here to show you how to do just that. Let’s started on these Faux String Art Celebrate Cards!<\/p>\n

My faux string art technique is so fun and so easy! All you need is floss, 3D Foam Circles<\/a> and a few basic paper crafting supplies to create some really amazing cards. <\/p>\n

Faux String Art Mechanics<\/h2>\n

Start by cutting two rectangles of cardstock. Mine are 5″ x 3 3\/4″ each. Set one aside and set the other on your work surface. Use a pencil and ruler to mark rows along the side of the panel. You want to mark about 1\/2″ in from the sides of panel and put marks at every inch mark.<\/p>\n

Take two 3D Foam Circles, stack them up and adhere them at every inch mark. <\/p>\n

\n

Take pieces of floss or twine and wrap them around the circles. I used a rainbow color scheme but you can use any color combination you like.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve wrapped as much floss as you’d like around the circles, add foam strips<\/a> around the panel’s borders. Be sure to use two layers worth of strips so they are as tall as your circles.<\/p>\n

Take your second paper panel and cut a rectangle out of it so you have a frame. Adhere it on top of the foam strips. <\/p>\n

Embellish your string art by adding a few sequins or gems to it. Also, stamp a sentiment onto a strip of cardstock and add it to the panel. <\/p>\n

Mat the panel on cardstock and then add it to a card. I felt my card was a little plain so I went one step further by applying a few adhesive stars and dumping white flock onto them. I love faux-embossed look it gives the panel. <\/p>\n

Switch Up the Design by Adding More Rows<\/h2>\n

A fun twist on this technique is to add more rows of floss to your design.<\/p>\n

For this card, I also wrapped the floss around the foam circles so it crossed itself. I think the look is really interesting. <\/p>\n
