How to make a beautiful wall decoration, only using some wood, nails and tread.

Instructions

  1. The first you need to do is find a piece of wood to make the string art on. When that is done, find a motive you want to use. You can either print out the photo and draw around it, or draw just by looking at the photo. I did the last option.

  2. Small 113142 2f2016 01 25 200717 img 1247

    When the motive is drawn on the wood piece, use a hammer to make a frame of nails, making av contour of the motive.

    I chose to paint the wood plank after putting in the nails, but this can be done before hand as well.

    Spin tread around the nails, until the motive is clear and you are satisfied.
