Printmaking is an art technique of making prints. You can create print on a paper using any objects with various shapes and texture.

Here are the steps on how to do printmaking using string as a tool:

2. Soak the string in the water for half a minute or one.

3. Use two fingers to apply paint on a string.

4. Put the string on a paper in any design you want.

5. Cover it with another paper (magazine or newspaper) and press it as you gently shake and pull the string.

Remove the magazine, and there you will see your wonderful print design!
