Raffia Hanging Earth

World Environment Day is on the 5th June. This year’s theme “Connecting People to Nature” encourages us to appreciate the beauty of our natural surroundings and to protect the Earth we all live on.
  • Step 1 In a cup pour in 3 measures of glue to 1 measure of water and mix. Place a length of blue raffia into the glue mixture making sure it is totally covered in glue.
  • Step 2 Use the base of a tin to trace a circle onto your String art board. Use the circle as a guide to lightly hammer nails around the edge of the design. Make sure you distribute the nails evenly.
  • Step 3 Remove the raffia from the cup and start to wrap it around each nail until you are happy with its coverage. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4 Cut out shapes from a piece of felt to reflect different continents. Use a glue gun to stick the continents onto the raffia Earth. Adult supervision is required when using the hot glue gun.
  • Step 5 Use jute twine to hang your Sting art in the window or wherever you like.
