DIY Heart String Art! (Learn How to Create a String Art using nails)

In this project, we are using a nail board to create heart string art. However, you can also make it without using the nail board, but using it make the heart steady.

DIY Heart String Art

Tracing Heart Shape with Nails

To create this DIY heart string art you can download our free heart template and print it out. Prepare a piece of wooden board into a square shape. The printed heart size should be relatively smaller than the wooden board size, making sure it fits inside the board nicely. Trace the heart pattern on the board. Grab some nails and a hammer; start hammering the nails along the traced heart pattern on the board, keeping a cm gap between every 2 nails.

Tying the String

At first, I was going to use pink coloured yarn but at the end decided to go for a blue yarn. Tie a knot with the yarn around the nail right at the top end of the heart pattern.

Getting Started with String the Art Part!

Draw the open end of the yarn towards the opposite nail and then drawing the yarn to the next nail (of the opposite nail). Draw the yarn from the outer side of the nailed heart.

String Wrapping

Now draw the nail to the opposite nail of the current nail and similarly, draw the yarn from the outer side,around the next nail.

Create a Pattern Sequence

Keep repeating this process clock-wise. Or if you want to go anti-clock-wise, you’ll have to do it from the very beginning.

Continue the String Wrapping

If you notice that the wrapped yarns are being pulled upwards, firmly press them downwards. Make sure to keep the wrapping nice and tight; a loose wrapping will ruin the craft.

Fill the Heart Pattern

You can stop wrapping once the yarn reaches near the first nail.

Tying the Closure Knot

Tie a tight knot with the yarn around the last nail.

Cutting off Extra String

Cut off extra yarn carefully after tying the knot. You can apply a drop of the on the knot just to make it a little extra secure. 

Attach a hanging mechanism at the backside of the board to complete the string art wall decor.
