How to make it
Hammer slowly with the pliers holding the nail, and keep loose nails in a cup away from younger siblings.
1Sand the board
Rub the edges smooth. Stain or paint it now if you want.
2Tape the template on
Center your printed shape and tape it flat.
3Hammer the nails
Tap a nail every 1/2 in along the outline. Hold each nail with pliers to save your fingers.
4Tear off the paper
Rip the template away. Pick out any bits stuck under the nails.
5Tie on the thread
Knot floss to 1 nail. Dab clear nail polish on the knot.
6Fill the shape
Zigzag the floss from nail to nail across the shape. Go around the outline last for a clean edge.
Edie's tipPush every nail to the same height. Use a scrap of cardboard as a depth guide.
