  Step 1

  You can use any kind of ply wood and spray paint it black. I went back and used a metallic blue and purple acrylic paint. After that I applied a clear coat-varnish.

• 

  Step 2

  I just gathered 8 round objects(all different sizes). Then used a silver pen and made small dashes as an outline of the object.

• 

  Step 3

  I went back over the dashes and hammered medium sized nails.

• 

  Step 4

  This part is tricky, You can make up any pattern to do this, As long as you keep up from the adjacent nail. Just be creative with it! I have some patterns located in the file attachments.
  After cutting the string, I used a little dab of glue on the knot so they wont come untied.

  Step 5

  Slowly it will all come together

  Step 6

  I used a different pattern with the stars, I just randomly made them up as I went. After the last star, I went back and sprayed them with glitter spray paint.
