String art has become very popular lately and it now takes all sorts of forms. It ranges from simple designs like monograms to more complex creations like portraits and elaborate forms. The base on which the nails are attached can be almost anything. It could be a piece of wood, a wall, a fence, etc. Let’s take a look at some examples and maybe you’ll get inspired to create something similar.

Let’s start with a message board. First you need to write the letters on the board using a stencil. Then put tiny nails into the board, creating a pattern like the one in the pictures. After that, it’s time to start threading. Use several colors and interlock them to create rainbow effect.{found on mrkate}.

This is a similar project but with a different message. The wood was first painted white and then a pattern was created following the lines of the letters.The letters then became more visible with the help of colored thread.{found on manmadediy}.

This project is a little more difficult because, as you can see, the lines don’t interlock. Yarn is wrapped around each nail following the design. It takes a few hours to complete the process but it’s worth the effort.{found on blairpeter}.
