WE LOVE ARIZONA!!!
so I FINALLY got around to doing one of my all time favorite pinterest projects, and I am IN LOVE with how it came out. I am obsessed with the metallic gold background and how well it compliments the colors in my family room.
if you want to make your own love tribute to your state, here is the tutorial from pinterest that I got the basics from: The Harpster Home
I did do a couple of things differently. As you might notice, mine is huge. I wanted a large version of this project to take up more wall space, and also because it’s totally awesome. Since I wanted it to be larger in scale I had to print the outline of Arizona on four different pages and puzzle piece it together to get the size I wanted.
Also, if you notice, the one in the tutorial and many others I have seen have a “spiraling” look in the string pattern. I wanted mine more even so that there was no spiraling. I first divided the number of nails on the outline of AZ by the number of nails in the heart = 7.6. So this meant that each nail on the heart would connect to 7-8 nails on the border. To keep from spiraling I wrapped the 7-8 rounds of string in a “V” shape to the coordinating heart nail. does that make sense?
I’m so in love with this project and Arizona!
good luck making your own!
PS. pics and a life update coming sooooon. (I know I’m way overdue!)
loves, Kristin
