Ingredients
Scrap woodsquare or rectangle-shaped
Pencil
Nails
Hammer
String or yarn
Instructions
Collect a piece of wood and prepare it to the required size and shape. I’ve cut mine into a rectangular shape. Use a pencil to trace a simple triangle tree shape with a star on the top end.
Gather some small nails and a hammer. Start to hammer the nails on the wooden piece, along the traced lines. Start to hammer the nails from a corner.
You can use a pencil to mark the nails points along the traced lines or you can simply skip a cm after attaching each nail on the wood.
Continue to hammer the nails on the wood along the traced lines until the whole pattern is filled.
Select a yellow (or any color you would prefer for the star) colored yarn or string for the star part of the nail art and tie a knot around any one of the nails of the star pattern. Do not cut the yarn or string from the bundle.
Draw the yarn around the outer sides of the star nails to trace the star pattern.
After tracing the outer lines of the star pattern, try to fill the inside of the star. Once you are done with the star string art, tie another knot around the current nail and cut off extra yarn or string.
Select a yarn for the triangular part (the tree) of the nail art and tie the yarn around any one of the nails of the tree pattern.
Draw the tied yarn strand randomly around the nails. You can go for a random pattern or you can also try to keep a sequence.
Whatever pattern you chose make sure to fill the inside of the triangle part (the tree) nice and evenly.
You can stop drawing the yarn strand around the nails once you are satisfied with the string pattern. Tie a knot around the current nail to secure the string art.
