String art Christmas technique and rules to remember

To enjoy the charm of such an artisanal creation, you will only need nails and wire: the basic elements! However, a support to be worked on will also be necessary and this is most often a disc of wood. As a general rule, string art advocates two types of thread: woolen and embroidery. If it is the realization of a more imposing model, the woolen threads are preferred thanks to their thickness and stability. But if, on the other hand, you want to craft a more romantic and delicate design, embroidery threads will do just fine. And what to do once the materials are provided? We start crisscrossing the colored threads following the precise pattern of a stencil! More details in the paragraph below.

The easiest and fastest way to bring Christmas string art to life is with a stencil. Start by choosing your favorite design from the web and print it out. Then, position it well on the work surface and have it nailed, being careful to respect the shapes and contours of the model. Finally, all you have to do is remove the paper and start winding the threads.

Tip: do not hesitate to incorporate colored pins or nails to give more originality to your artisanal creation.

As for wrapping the threads around the nails, it is essential to mention that there are no strict rules to remember. However, take into account that this step requires great care and a great deal of patience. So don't be discouraged if you miss your first try. Repeat the activity until you get a satisfying Christmas string art.

Once the winding of the threads is finished, proceed to the final step of discreetly attaching the string and then cutting it flush with the knot. Finally, secure it with a few drops of glue. There you have it, Christmas string art is not as complicated as it seems.

You should also know that this manual Christmas activity is not limited only to the use of pins and various nails. For a vibrant and personalized rendering, we recommend that you use other decorative elements such as pearls and rhinestones as shown in the example above.

String art Christmas tree: easy tutorial

Here is an obvious example of the easiest way to create a Christmas tree with the right twine! First position the printed stencil on the wooden disc and then fix with nails respecting the contours of the model. Space the nails at a distance of about 1 cm. If they are too close together, it will be difficult to make the wire work. On the other hand, a longer distance could loosen the string. Finally, remove the paper by tearing it.

Wind up the thread, keeping it taut while performing the step. Circle all the nails first before you start filling the inside of the tree. Once satisfied with the result, tie, cut and glue!
