Get Ready to Nail Your Easter Decor Game with This Epic String Art Idea!
By Mike-Ross
So, guess what? I've picked up a new hobby: string art! Totally obsessed with it. I've been whipping up these cool DIY creations like there's no tomorrow. Got a couple hanging on my wall already, and they're looking fab!
With Easter around the corner, I figured I'd dive into some Easter-themed string art. Found this super easy idea on One Little Project's YouTube channel, and let me tell you, it's adorable! Plus, there are tons of ways to jazz it up with different designs.
Here's what you'll need for this Easter Egg String Art:
A ¾-inch thick wooden board Nails Embroidery floss in assorted colors Scissors Tape Hammer Optional: Paint or stain (if you want to add some extra flair) Optional: Paintbrush (only needed if you're using paint) Printable pattern (grab it here)

Step 1
Print the pattern and cut it out with enough allowance on the edges, then paint or stain the wooden board if desired, and allow it to dry completely, otherwise proceed to the next step.
Step 2
Lay the printed pattern on top of the board, then tape it in place, and start attaching the nails to the dots one at a time. Make sure their height is as even as possible.
Step 3
Next, carefully rip off the paper, then tie the first strand of yarn around the first nail, and start twisting and wrapping around two rows of nails diagonally as shown in the video.
Step 4
Now, bring the strand and wrap it around in the opposite direction, then create a border around the first set of colors by encircling around each nail on the outer area, and again in reverse as demonstrated in the video.
Step 5
Lastly, after tying the first set of yarn securely, cut the excess, and proceed to add more sets of colors using the same steps that you did earlier. You can also try other patterns once you’ve got the hang of it.
