This How-To guide on creating string art is user friendly in its instructions that are step-by-step and paired with a photograph for each, as a visual to aid the reader and crafter in completing each project. The book offers a short introduction to string art, followed by four projects. Each project is themed and a short historical introduction precedes the step-by-step guide. For example, Project 1 is String Art Polygons, the introduction explains what regular polygons are and their relationship with circles. The information presented is concise and interesting and a great way to get into the groove of creating the project it accompanies. The materials required for these projects are either household items or items you can purchase at the local dollar store, making it accessible for many readers not to just read about string art but also create their own.
