String Art
String Art WHAT YOU’LL NEED • Scrap paper or one of our templates (see additional pages) • Wood plaque (for the star, we used an 8-inch-square “wood canvas” from Michaels) • Tape • Hammer and 1-inch decorative nails • String WHAT TO DO
1. On a piece of paper the same size as the wood, draw your template — or print one of ours. Tape the paper to your plaque. 2. Hammer nails through the paper and into the wood along the lines of the design. Leave about three quarters of each nail sticking up and try to have the nails all at the same height. Tear away the paper when you’re done. 3. Tie the end of a length of string to a nail and wrap from nail to nail. Finish by cutting the string and tying it to another nail. Add other colors of string as desired.
