Lately I have been working on organizing and decorating in the kitchen/diningroom of my house. Even though these spaces are pretty small I have somehow managed to keep them really minimal (read: bare) since I moved in last year. 🙂 I really wanted to create some kind of string art ever since I saw this one from Elise's blog. There are so many different takes on string (or yarn) art. I love seeing vintage pieces and I also love modern takes on this classic craft, like this one and that one. So I decided to make one for my kitchen area.I got this piece of wood at Hobby Lobby and then had Elsie helped create the outline of a fork and spoon. We outlined the design in black paint. Then I added nails all around the edges. Then came the fun part-adding the string. 🙂I really like how it turned out, and I can't wait to hang it in my kitchen this weekend! xo. Emma

I love this! I will totally be doing this sometime in the near future 🙂 So adorable!!!
This is pretty, and quite different compared to your other projects too! Projects with wood are so pretty too. Can’t wait to see more of the home decor!
Simple, but effective! You could do this idea with other designs too… I’d like to try neon thread and a stag’s head. Loving the blog as ever!

I did this on a pumpkin that I submitted for your pumpkin contest back in October. Reminds me that I should totally do it as an actual wall project. Good job! Yours look cute!
I love this idea! I’ve been wanting to do something on a wood slab for a while, but I’m struggling to find anywhere over here in England that sells them!! Boo
whoa this is SO cute!! i love it, so creative! i’ve seen the ones with like words or a state or something, but this is different, so awesome and i love that its on the wood! And it seems pretty easy, i want to make one!
This is stinking adorable. I’m getting ready to move in a new house, so I’ve definitely been scheming decoration ideas. Might have to play on this one 🙂
