Cut out a piece of cardstock paper and trace the maple leaf pattern on it from the provided template. Use a pencil to trace the maple leaf.
Place the paper on a craft foam board and grab a needle. Make holes along the traced line of the maple leaf drawing, on the cardstock paper. Keeping the foam board under the cardstock paper will make it easier to pop the holes with the needle and also, your craft space stays safe.
Try to keep even distance between the holes and continue to pop holes until the whole pattern is covered.
Select a yarn of your choice and prepare it with a tapestry needle.
Start to stitch by drawing the needle from the back side of the cardstock paper and keeping about an inch of the yarn at the back. Go through the holes randomly but try to keep a sequence or try to create a sound pattern.
Try to fill the leaf pattern as much as you can and once you are satisfied with the string pattern stitch along the sides to create a border.
Done stitching the border? Draw the needle to the back side, tie a knot or 2 and cut off extra yarn.
Frame it, make a card or come up with any crafty idea to use this maple leaf string art.
