String Art for Father's Day

To create string art, you will need:

- a printable PAPA template

- a wooden base (20 x 20 cm) and nails

- a hammer

- colored skeins

- square rhinestone stickers

- a pair of scissors

To start, print a PAPA template here.

Place the template on the wooden board and secure it with a few pieces of tape.

Note: make sure that the wall mount located behind the wooden board is oriented in the correct direction!

WARNING this step may require help from an adult.

Hammer the nails in using a mallet/hammer, following the pattern.

Note: the wood of our string art supports is very soft, allowing children to easily hammer the nails without needing to hit too hard with the mallet/hammer.

WARNING this step may require the assistance of an adult.

In total, 60 nails will be driven in corresponding to the 60 circles of the template!

Then remove the paper template from the base to reveal the driven nails.

Using a colored thread, make a double knot around the first nail located on the outline of the letter P.

Then "weave" the thread, making sure to stretch it between the nails.

Once the area is well covered, tie a knot around a nail to finish.

For this model, it is preferable not to weave inside the P and A.

Repeat these steps for the other letters, varying the colors.

Once finished, you should get a result similar to this!

Using a black floss, trace around the outline of all the letters to provide perspective.

And to finish, stick square rhinestone stickers around the left and right edges of the wooden base.
