Making Your Christmas Tree String Art

Step 1: Prepare the Wood

My brainstorming started when I found this cool piece of wood that had great texture and grain, Depending on the size you want your string art, you can cut the board to fit your needs. I liked the texture of the wood, but if you want your surface smooth, then give it a good sanding before moving on. You could also stain or paint the wood if you want.

Step 2: Create the Tree Outline

I used a Christmas tree coloring page for the Christmas tree design. You can find a lot of options online or you can freehand your Christmas tree design too.

Step 3: Hammer in the Nails

Carefully hammer nails at the ends of the boughs ensuring they’re evenly spaced. These nails will act as anchor points for the string. Be mindful of the spaces between the nails, as they will influence the density of your string design. If you are worried about hammering your fingers, you can hold the nail with a needle-nose pliers.

Then pulled off the paper.

A silver paint pen painted on the tops of every other nailhead added some festive flair to this nail art!

I loved the alternating gold/bronze nail tops with the silver nail tops. They look like Christmas ornaments to me!

Step 4: Stringing the Tree

It took me a few tries to figure out which pattern I wanted to use to “string” the tree.

I decided to go with top to bottom and center and out to each tip… trying to replicate a bough. So I tied a knot on the top nail and then went down to the bottom nail, wrapped the string around that nail, and then went back up to the top. Continue that pattern as you spread out to the rest of the nails.

I found this cool green twine at Dollar Tree last year… score!

And ended up with this cute string art tree… which I’m kind of loving. Creating Christmas string art is so fun and the possibilities are endless. I hope this string-art tutorial helped you out!
