Dress Up Your Walls With These 8 String Art Projects
Custom wall decor without the hefty price tag? Yes, please.

It reached peak popularity in the '70s, but string art has made a big comeback in the last few years. While you can buy already-made string art or string art kits from many craft stores, you can also create your own custom wall decor from scratch — and it won't cost you much, either. Grab a hammer, some nails and a whole lot of string, and try one of these budget-friendly DIYs.
