DIRECTIONS

  1. Paint or stain the 6×6″ plywood in your desired color. Let dry.
  2. Choose a nail template and center the paper stencil on top of plywood. Hammer a nail into each dot on the paper.
  3. Carefully rip the stencil away from the plywood.
  4. Tie a double knot around one nail. Trim excess string from the end.
  5. Keep string tight and start wrapping around nails in a random pattern until you run out of string.
  6. To finish your string art, pick an endpoint and tie a knot around the nail. Make sure it’s tied tight so your project doesn’t come unraveled. Trim excess string from the end.
