String Collage Craft

Design your own picture with this easy string collage craft for kids.

Make a String Picture

You will need

Roll of string
Wood glue
Scissors
Pencil
Card

Method

1. Draw a pencil outline of the picture on the card. A flower, a car or any simple image will work best.
2. Squeeze glue along the outline and parts of the picture that will be filled in with string. Be generous with the glue, but do a small part at a time to avoid smudging the glue.
3. Help your child to carefully place the string along the outlines and spiral it to cover parts of the picture that are to be filled in. 4. When complete, place the picture in a safe place to dry.

Variation: When the glue has dried, place a sheet of regular paper on top of the picture and show your child how to make a rubbing of the picture, using the flat edge of a pencil point.
