How to Make String Art – Easy, Beautiful, and Handmade!

Introduction

String art is a creative and relaxing decorative technique where, using yarn, nails, and a board, you can create unique and impressive images or inscriptions. This type of handmade craft is gaining more and more popularity among DIY enthusiasts.

In this guide, we will show you step-by-step how to create your own string art panel using materials from EM ART – a reliable partner in the world of creativity and crafts.

Required Materials

• Chip board – a strong yet lightweight base material
• Cotton yarn
• Template – can be a word, initials, or image
• Ruler and pencil – for precise marking
• Tape – to temporarily fix the template in place
• Nails
• Hammer
• Scissors

Step 1: Preparing the Base

1. Select a suitable size and thickness of chip board or a wooden board.
2. Center the chosen template and lightly tape it down if needed.

Step 2: Nailing

1. Use the ruler and pencil to mark points on the template every 1 cm.
2. Carefully hammer a nail into each marked point.
   Be precise – this will ensure a great final result.
3. Once you’ve finished nailing, gently remove the template, being careful not to pull out or shift the nails.

Step 3: Weaving with Yarn

1. Unroll a piece of yarn and tie it securely to the first nail.
2. Begin wrapping the yarn around the next nails, outlining the shape of your chosen template.
3. You can leave the design as an outline or fill in the letters/shapes by wrapping the yarn tightly and repeatedly.
4. When changing colors or finishing an element, simply tie a new knot and cut the excess yarn.
