Pull string art by Ania Asif

Hello everyone, I am going to show you an art technique today which is called ‘Pull string art’. When I learned this, I immediately knew I wanted to share this with everyone around me. It is simple and fun to do. The result we get after the process is reminiscent of a calla lily flower. You can get it framed and gift it to your friends or you can use it for decorating your house. The best part is, this technique doesn’t require expensive art supplies, the only materials needed for this technique are:

  1. String
  2. Ink
  3. Rough book
  4. Any Paper

THE PROCESS:

Start by practicing on your sketchbook or with some paper and a rough book.

First cut a piece of string, not so long that you cannot control it but long enough that you can swirl it around on the paper.

Now, dip the string in the ink, completely saturating it.

Take any rough book and keep your paper on it (folded in half)

Then hold the string over the paper you are using. Allow it to hit and lay on the paper in a random pattern. (Like in the video)

And close the book. Remember, half of your string should be outside the book that you can pull afterwards.

Now, pull the string slowly.

And open the book to see the beautiful flower like creations you have made!

I have also made a video, check it out


If you try it, I would love to see the results

Dried leaves and flower petals (optional) PROCESS: Cut up your paper roughly into one-inch pieces. Soak your paper in water for one or two hours. Pour some water and the paper in the blender and Start blending it. You should blend it until it turns into a pulp. Take a tub, put the pulp mixture in it and some more water. If you want to make your paper colorful you can add organic products like; tea leaves, turmeric powder etc. or you can add watercolors and poster paints. Take your strainer (it can be of any size and shape) Immerse the strainer in the bowl in which is your pulp and then slowly bring it up out of the mix, until it is fully covered with the particles of pulp. Now, turn your strainer

When Pakistan was new to history its population was just 70 million. Therefore, many places were wild and uninhabited.   At the early days of migration, between 1948 - 49, there lived Molana Ahmed and his family near the suburbs of Karachi. They lived quite far from other families. Their house was very old probably of late 1800s and remained abandoned for several years until  Mr. Ahmed purchased it. But the thing that he didn't  know was… the house was HAUNTED!!!   It all started one night when everyone was deep asleep...there came a strange noise from the bedroom as if someone is trying to move the chairs from one corner to the other. Molana Ahmed got awake but suddenly the noises stopped. Mr. Ahmed gave no heed to the incident and went to sleep.   Early at dawn, when everyone  was asleep and Molana Ahmed was reciting Quran after Fajr  prayers, he heard some strange noises from the room adjacent to the room where his family was sleeping. He heard noises as if someone is cryi
