Product Information

Choose where you want to start your string and tie the string in a knot around a nail, just underneath the nail head. Add a dab of white glue to the knot. Don’t trim off the excess string right away, allow the glue to set while you move on to the next step. I’m really happy with how my letters turned out! I’m glad I decided on the string art and making them so colorful. It really fits well in my studio! By the way, you can use a foam board and needles instead of a wooden board and small nails. This option is easier to make, but it is much more unstable and fragile. Besides, it is usually used for string art for kids because it is safer. If you wish to make decals, insert the sheet into a smooth plastic sheet protector (the kind you get for binders) and make your design as you would with the reverse decal method If you master it, you can then buy a more complicated, customized pattern and improve your skills. You can also look into the internet for more string art inspirations. For a simple DIY string art project you will need these materials:

When you are finished and the glue has had a chance to set, use a tiny pairof sewing scissors to carefully trim off excess strings from any knots. Drill holes about halfway through the letter (don’t go all the way through the MDF), just to give the nail a head start. The decor in my studio is all about colors. Lots and lots of color, so when deciding on the string art design, I decided to use two colors on each letter.

If you follow along here, you know that I have a studio and that I have already created these flower wall letters and these burlap wall letters to go over my windows. The final letters, C-R-A-F-T, finished off the walls over the far right window. TIP: Occasionally the trailing end of your string may tangle. Because you must keep the string taught to avoid unravelling your project, place a heavy object on your string (I used my drill) so that your hands can be freed to untangle the end. Nails on the sheet appear with the Proximal Nail Fold (PNF)/base of the nail at the top and the free edge at the bottom

TIP: Hold the string taught the entire time you are wrapping. If you loosen it, your hard work will unravel. When going around curves you will not have an even number of nails across from each other. You will need to wrap one nail multiple times as you zig zag. Squeeze out a puddle of white glue onto a plate. Dip the tip of the nail into the glue then place it in a drilled hole.

I’ve seen several string art projects around lately and love them all. String art is time-consuming, but the end result is beautiful and well worth the effort. When I decided to turn my last set of studio wall letters into string art, it wasn’t before going through several other ideas first. From the often velvet-covered chairs to the glass bottles of beautiful colour lined neatly on marble-effect shelves, there are many things that make a visit to the salon a magical experience. And in 2023 we intend to take full advantage of our appointment with our nail technicians. How, you ask? By opting for some stunning nail art.
