String-Art with autumn flowers

String art is an easy technique and once the nails have been hammered in with any help, it is feasible for everyone.

Leftovers in particular are ideal to use. A lot of material is possible: knitting and crochet yarn, wool, raffia, cord, rope, you name it. As always: choose what suits you best or who you are making a gift for.

How do you make this?

1: Have everything ready for necessities, that works tidy. Further preparation: print or draw a pattern and cut it out. Put dots at a fixed distance from each other, later you can hit the nails directly into the wood at that fixed distance.

2: Paint the wood with white paint, white gesso is also possible. Let it dry or blow dry. Stick the cut out pattern in the desired place.

3: With a hammer, hammer small nails around the pattern and where the spacers are. Then pull the yarn or else around the nails, you can also zigzag the yarn back and forth.

4: Glue silk flowers or, as now, trendy dried flowers on the wood, within the vase contour and behind the yarn.
