In order to "stitch" the yarn through the peg holes, I had to remove the backing of the frame. That was easy to do with my craft knife
Once I removed the paper from the back of the frame, the back of the peg holes was accessible and I was able to "stitch" the yarn through the holes to create my diamond shape.
I started by outlining the basic shape, feeding the end of the yarn through the holes. Tip: be careful where you thread the yarn on the back of the pegboard because it will show through the front. Try to keep the yarn on the back in the same place as the yarn on the front so it covers it up.
Once I had outlined the basic diamond shape, I filled in some details on the inside, creating the facets of the diamond.
I love how this turned out--the subtle aqua, the diamond trend, all mixed with the string art trend on a clean white canvas. Yum!
And, to top it all off, it will be easy to change the string art when I decide I'm ready for something new. How cute would this be with seasonal shapes and colors?
