Rustic Nail Art

with just a scrap piece of wood a hammer some finishing nails and the yarn you have from that failed scarf or throw blanket you can make one too!

Step 1: Get a Scrap Piece of Wood

and distress it if you like a rustic look. basically scratch and mar the edges with a knife, saw or even scrape it up on the concrete add deep scores into the edge to mimic a crack or two then stain or paint it with whatever you have handy

Step 2: Make a Template of What You Want to Be on Your Board

start nailing!. you pick how far apart you want your nails. I chose to nail them a 1/4 inch apart but remember the closer they are the harder it is to wrap the yarn around each nail

Step 3:

make sure you don't nail into the paper template because it is a pain to remove it later if its nailed on. I chose a random pattern with the yarn. next I drew the world love and started all over again I didn't do the center of the letters until after I removed the template it is a lot easier to remove this way

Step 4: Voila

remember the closer the nails are the harder and more time consuming it is... but it looks a lot better in the long run
