5. Now, slowly pull on the unpainted tip of the string.

 
6. Remove the cover and see the effect.

 
7. If you wish to combine colors in one string art, pick 3 or more different colors then paint the string alternately.

 
8. Do the same steps and see the effects of combined colors. You can put that in a frame and display at home.
