Supplies needed:
- wood boards
- nails
- wood primer
- paint
- string
- hammer
Steps:
- First thing to do is paint your wooden panel (“Snooki” used white to make the string pop more).
- Then paint it!
- Create your own design or print a pattern on a sheet of paper. Place it over a painted piece of wood and trace using a pen or pencil. It will create a small indentation in the paint & wood.
- Hammer nails along the outline of your design.
- For the nautical anchor she went with teal blue string to add pop to the room!
- To start your design simply wrap string around each nail. You can use a zig zag pattern or go all over. There is no wrong way to do this!

TIP: Try using multi-colored string on unpainted wood for another look!
