DIY Rope Word Art

My niece recently had a birthday and I wanted to make something special for her. She's a dancer, so I thought she might like something she can hang in her room that expresses what she likes to do most in the world: dance. I also wanted a gift that was budget friendly and this one is that.
My niece recently had a birthday and I wanted to make something special for her. She's a dancer, so I thought she might like something she can hang in her room that expresses what she likes to do most in the world: dance. The DIY Rope Art I made for her can be customized for any word that fits your personality or interests. You could also spell out a name or an inspirational message, such as "Imagine" or "Dream." To make this you'll need a stained board, 1/4" sisal rope, brads, hammer, utility knife, and a cursive print out of the word.
Examine the cursive print out of the word and decide the approximate placement of each letter. Nail the rope to the board where the first letter begins. Using the printout as a guide, bend the rope to form each letter. Nail the rope into place as you work. Cut the rope with a utility knife where a letter ends or where needed to form a letter.

Kim Dotiwalla on Jan 16, 2016This is a bit rustic for my taste. I wonder what would happen if you spray painted it....
