How to Nail String Art

Hello, my name is Aaron Ryan, I have years of experience in building stuff to arts and crafts. Have you ever wanted to make something awesome that is simple to do? Well, you are in luck because I will be showing you how to make easy time-consuming string nail art.

You will need a wood panel 20inches by 30inches long about 1/2inch thick, over a hundred small nails with wide heads, and at least 500 feet of string. The tools you will need is a hammer and a pencil.

Decide what type of image you are going to do. For example, maybe a bear or an elephant.

Now that you have an image picked out. Trace the image’s outline with the pencil lightly on to the wood panel, make sure to center it.

Now that you have the image’s outline traced out, you will now take the hammer and nails and nail the nail 1/3 of the way in and follow the trace image line and put a nail every half inch of each other, until the traced image is outlined with nails completely.

Now you will take the string and pick a nail (doesn’t matter what nail, it’s a random pattern so go crazy) and make three knots around the nail.

Now this part is where you take it and make it how you want because it is art. From the first nail you will bring the string across and put three loops on the second nail and then go to another nail across from that nail and put three loops on that nail and repeat the process until you feel the product is complete and full. Note make sure to loop around every nail and you can loop around a nail more than once. On the last nail tie three knots and you are done.
