You Will Need
-
Step 1You will need
A wooden board. Something rustic but not too weathered.
A hammer
Flat head nails, length will depend on the thickness of your wood but 25mm is what I have used
Sand paper
String
And a stencil -
Step 2Sand down the rough edges.
We don't want splinters! -
Step 3Nail down your stencil to ensure it doesn't move!
-
Step 4Hammer in more nails!
I've spaced mine about 2cm apart -
Step 5Remove your stencil and start wrapping your string around the nails!
-
Step 6Go crazy! Or for a geometric effect work on a pattern
-
Step 7Keep going, and double your layers if using thin cotton for extra effect!
-
Step 8Once you have finished your pattern, tie off the loose ends and lift all your string to the same height.
-
Step 9Ta Da! Your finished!
If you would like to hang it add some hooks to the top
Or just stand it up on display in your book shelves or mantle (:
