Description

Instructions

  1. Small s5005954 1318873954

    You can use any kind of ply wood and spray paint it black. I went back and used a metallic blue and purple acrylic paint. After that I applied a clear coat-varnish.

  2. Small s5005965 1318874038

    I just gathered 8 round objects(all different sizes). Then used a silver pen and made small dashes as an outline of the object.

  3. Small s5005960 1318874061

    I went back over the dashes and hammered medium sized nails.

  4. Small s5005959 1318874085

    This part is tricky, You can make up any pattern to do this, As long as you keep up from the adjacent nail. Just be creative with it! I have some patterns located in the file attachments. After cutting the string, I used a little dab of glue on the knot so they wont come untied.

    Slowly it will all come together

    I used a different pattern with the stars, I just randomly made them up as I went. After the last star, I went back and sprayed them with glitter spray paint.
