Supplies:
- Crayola Acrylic Paint

CIY Staff Tips:
- The watered-down white paint helps the string glide around the canvas more smoothly. White paint should be smooth without being too runny.
- Experiment with different techniques of applying paint and pulling string for a unique piece of wall art!
