Elephant Nail Painting - String Art
It had been on my list for so long, making a nail/wire figure! Because carpentry is simply delicious, to do. That there are some nails a little skewed, well, that's not bad at all. Then you can see that it's handwork, right?
For kids it's also great to do, it makes a little noise and maybe some nails will warp. But with a pinch pliers at hand, that will probably be fine. Actually, you don't need much further:
- A MDF picture of about 12mm meets fine. In the DIY business, they often have a rest wood bin, where you can probably bring some small shelves. Any other shelf is also possible, as long as it is not too hard.
- Take a simple image of eg. a toddler/toddler coloring page, or draw a simple basic shape yourself. The elephant with the trunk was actually a little too complicated for children. The simpler, the younger the kids can do.
- Head nail . I bought a box with the Action for 99 ct, there are also 2cm nails in it. Of course, you can also get bigger or slightly smaller. If they only have a cup, otherwise the thread/wool won't hold.
-
Wool, wire, thin rope, ribbon or something like that. Metallic thread must also give fun effects. I used a ball of pre-crocheted wool/ornamental thread. But where I bought it, unfortunately I don't remember. Just use the wool or thread you have lying down, because almost anything can. You'll just get a completely different effect.


Cut out your shape and transfer the shape to the wood.
Weer iets op het lijstje gezet wat ik na de examens wil maken hahahahahaha. Maar hey, dit zou nog best leuke decoratie voor m'n kamer zijn straks. Als ik een kamer kan vinden dan :'D
