If you have a few basic supplies, this is an easy project. For adults doing this with kids, please help them with the hammer and nails. Also, protective eye wear is a must! If you don’t have a wooden plank on hand, you can always do this project on a canvas using push pins instead of nails. Or…You can do push pins on styrofoam. The possibilities are endless. In the photos and video below, I used a heart. But you can do anything – stars, moons, initials, whatever you want. The basic open shapes are for first timers. As always, let me know if you’ve got questions, I am happy to help. I am excited for the project for day five – I worked on it all day today but didn’t finish editing the video. Hoping this gives you something to look forward to.

WHAT DO I NEED?

• WOOD PLANK or CANVAS or STYROFOAM
• NAILS or PUSH PINS
• HAMMER (if you decide to use the option with the nails)
• SHAPE OR TEMPLATE
• STRING OR YARN
• SAFETY GOGGLES OR GLASSES

HOW DO I MAKE THEM?

• PLACE A SHAPE ON THE WOODEN PLANK
• MARK SPACES ONE INCH APART
• HAMMER THE NAILS INTO THE WOOD
• TIE THE YARN ONTO THE NAILS AND WRAP THE STRING FROM NAIL TO NAIL
• TIE A KNOT AROUND THE NAIL AND TRIM THE EXCESS
