You Will Need (5 things)

  • Acrylic Paint And Brush
  • 8 Round Object To Draw Around
  • 1 Ply Wood 3x3
  • All Colors Embroidery Thread Lots of it
  • Glue And Scissors

Steps (6 steps, 540 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 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.

  5. 5

    Slowly it will all come together

  6. 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.
