The inspiration |
Materials - Less that $10
- scrap wood
- paint ( I used spray paint I had on hand)
- embrodery floss
- 1 inch nails (100 pack is an easy find)
- Hammer
- Printout of the state you wish to use
I had been seeing this all over pinterest lately. Taking a cut out of your home state and creating a nail outline and linking the sting to each other. Originally I planned to make a heart around the bay area (where I am from) and attach all the sting to there.
Unfortunately I decided to hammer that part in last after I did the outline. I could not get a good angle with the hammer so I eventually gave up and decided to take a more abstract direction. My only advice to someone who planst to do this, start witht he heart first.
So here is the final project. It was a fun project I was able to finish in one evening and I think it would make a wonderful gift.
