String art, also known as thread art, was originally invented in the 19th century by Mary Everest Boole as a tool to help teach children about mathematical concepts. In this DIY kit, you are given a cork board with a dotted outline of plant shape printed on it. Hammer nails on the dots and wind coloured wool strings around the hammered nails to create a beautiful paw design. Gift it to a nature lover or use it for your personal home/garden/nursery decor. The most interesting fact is that the board is made from cork - a material that is derived by peeling the bark of an oak tree without harming or killing it. In fact, the bark regenerates every few years, making cork a renewable and biodegradable material. So, your new hobby doesn't harm the Earth! Contents: 1.
