I grew up with nail and string art all over the place. I believe there was a piece hanging in just about everyone’s house I knew because at one point or another everyone tried it back in the day. I have to say this new spin on making house numbers that was sent in by Amy of the blog A Nest for all Seasons is so modern and cute! If you think so too and want to try her tutorial on how to make recycled cabinet door string art house numbers then pop on over to her post.

Did you move house after stringing the numbers? 469 or 649 ?
I thought the original address was 469
Crap, someone said it before me. Another time, Rebecca Golter! Another time!
I intentionally used mixed up numbers since they are my house numbers 😉
