String Star Art
Begin with tracing a pattern on paper. Lay the paper on your board and start nailing in the nails of your choice. Smaller nails are typically better. Once all the nails are in that you want to use, tear the paper away so only the nails are left. Then use the colored string (of your choice) to run the string through the nails and wrap around. Make sure to leave enough space so that it’s not too full.
