Art Is Hard. Seriously.

DIY String Art: The Time We Tried To Be Artistic

So, since it's summer and we already played with bubbles... we decided to try another fun summer activity. And we settled on being artistic! Of course, Pinterest probably played a HUGE role in this decision. Basically we were like, why is everything on Pinterest so cute and crafty? Why can't we be cute and crafty?? Why can't we make cute and crafty things??? Challenge accepted.

After searching through the gazillions of cute DIY projects on Pinterest, we settled on string art. Some pins, a cork board, and string, and voila! How hard could that be? UH... REALLY HARD APPARENTLY.

Seriously, it turned out to be way harder than we thought. Pinning the pins took hours and hours (Like, were we doing it wrong? Is there an easier way to do it and we just don't know it??) And while we ended up with some nice looking projects--look how cute my elephant and giraffe are!--we also ended up with huge headaches and aching fingers. I will probably never try to be so Pinteresty again.

HALLELUJAH. FINISHED!

So moral of this story is, everyone on Pinterest probably lies about how long it took them to do their crafts because seriously this giraffe and elephant took 2 days to do. At least it turned out looking nice or I would have been so mad after spending so much time doing it. So Pinterest, can you please stop making all the crafts look so easy? Kay, thank you! Now I'm gonna go find an awesome place to hangout this piece of art. Just call me Picasso. Just kidding, please don't.
