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.
