Step 4

Cut the selected string to the desired length (taking into account the height of the frame and number of wraps required around it) and wrap it around the canvas once while keeping it as taut as possible. Tie a knot in the back of the canvas.

Step 5

Continue wrapping the string several times around the canvas so that it criss-crosses the other strings to form geometric shapes. Tie the other end of the string securely to the back of the frame.
