Step 1Start by taping paper to the wall to create your shape.
-
Step 2Keep going until you have the shape you want!
-
Step 3Now start pounding nails around the edge of the shape. Pound them in enough that they don't wiggle, but not so far that you can't wind the string around them.
-
Step 4Now, start winding yarn around the nails to create the string patterns. I went in sections, tearing off the paper as I went.
-
Step 5On the thicker parts like the trunk, I added some nails in the center to create some more interesting shapes when winding the yarn around the nails.
-
Step 6Keep going until you get the desired shape! This is how far I got with one skein of yarn.
-
Step 7I wanted to fill it in a little more, so I got a second skein of yarn. It wasn't the same exact color, but I just added it throughout so it blended in. I liked that the two colors added a little more dimension!
-
Step 8I thought it looked a little plain, so I bought some mini-canvases, and painted some happy little birds!
-
Step 9Voilá, you made a tree!
