What paper is best for making heart string art cards?
We used 65 lb coloured cardstock to create our own blank card. It works well, but it does bend easily. Try buying 80 lb cardstock if you want a card that’s a bit more sturdy. Or if you don’t want to cut the paper to size, you can also buy blank cards!
What other string can you use for heart string art cards?
If you don’t have embroidery floss you can use crochet cotton, 2mm macrame cord, or thin yarn to make your string art card. Yarn is thicker and fuzzier than the embroidery floss, but it still works well!
