Oregon vs Minnesota

Ethan and I made some art for above our bed.

The states where each of us are from.

I saw these on pinterest and they are harder than they look.

My favorite part are the nails in the wall.

How'd we do it?

Wood is from Lowes and it already came cut that way. 2'x2'.

Nails are actually tacks.

Ethan printed up at work outlines of the states and we nailed right on the paper then ripped the paper off when we were done.

String is 8kg, that is the smallest I could find and this takes up a lot of string. I had to buy 2 rolls (300 ft each).

Then you just have to fiddle with how the string looks. I completely redid my state because I didn't like how it looked.

I made 2 knots; one at the beginning and one at the end. Then I added a little super glue to the knots so they don't come undone.
