      Well, you can always run a Google search to get some Scorpio string art patterns, but if that doesn’t work, you can try learning the basic method by trying a few simple patterns from above. Like the state patterns or the heart. Once you get the hang of the procedure, you will be able to work out a Scorpio pattern yourself. It’s not really that difficult, just find some sample images from Google to help you. The idea is really cool, and your daughter will surely love it and it will be worth your hard work.
