String art decorative plate

Preparation and materials

Before you get started, make sure you have all the materials you need ready. Your creativity can only really flow if you are well prepared.

Step 1: Attaching the suspension

First of all, unscrew the eyelets of the suspension on the back of the sign. This will make it easier for you to place the wooden panel crosswise later.

Step 2: Template and primer

Next, print out our free template, which you can download from our website. It will serve as a template for your StringArt motif. Take the wooden board and prime it with black handicraft paint or your preferred color. This primer will create a high-contrast background that will make your StringArt stand out. Allow the paint to dry completely before continuing.

Step 3: Transferring the template

Once the paint has dried, place the carbonless paper on the wooden board and place the printed template over it. transfer the motif to the board with a pen. This will give you clear lines that you can use as a guide for the next step.

Step 4: Placing the steel pins

Now it gets exciting! Insert the steel pins along the outer lines of the transferred lettering. Keep a distance of about 5 mm between the individual needles. These serve as anchor points for your yarn.

Step 5: Attach yarn

Attach the yarn, by knotting it to one of the steel pins. Now start pulling the thread back and forth between the different needles . Play with the thread tension and the gradient until the letter is clearly legible and the desired pattern appears. Finally, knot the end of the yarn to secure it.
