Materials
Wood Board
Finishing nails (18 gauge, 1" long is what we used)
String
Hammer
Pencil
Pick your design and draw it lightly on your board. You can also print out a design and just nail through it.
Start wrapping the string from nail to nail in any order. This adds to the randomness of it. Try to wrap it around each nail at least once. 2 or 3 time will make it look fuller. Keep the tension strong so the string doesn't slip off a nail. Every once in a while, tie a knot around a nail just in case it pops off at one point, it won't ruin the whole thing.
Keep filling in the design evenly so you don't end up with bare spots.
If you're adding a design in the center of your heart, be sure that you don't cross that inner area at all! It will ruin the clean look of it.
Done!
To hang this on a wall, use a picture frame or canvas wall hanging kit.
