String Art DIY Crafts Kits Supplies for Adults Beginner Unique Women Gift (Sunflower 12inch*12inch)

Fantastic

I used to make designs with nails and yarn when I was young, so I bought this as soon as I saw it. It comes with plenty of thread and nails plus hanging hardware. The scissors are a joke, so don't bother with them. If you've never made string art before, the instructions can be a little unclear. I started by hammering in the nails. Things went downhill after that. As soon as you start wrapping the thread, the nails start to come out. I tried multiple times, but the nails just don't stay in place. So I bought Elmer's clear glue, glued the nails in, and let it dry. Afterwards, I was able to wrap the thread. Overall, I enjoyed the project, but the nail problem needs to be fixed, the scissors should be scrapped, and I think the price is a bit too high.

This project took about 4 hours total. I had to stop and come back to it as it is very frustrating when you are in the middle of doing one of the colors and a nail comes loose. While hammering, other nails from other colors come loose too so you end up having to go back multiple times. I also didn't anticipate having to triple knot as the double knot comes loose as well. Overall.. a lot of lessons learned, it turned out cool.. but not sure I would spend the money on this again as the material is cheap. The board is not real wood. it's like particle board and flimsy. The hammer was okay, there is plenty of string left over (and nails) while the scissors didn't work at all. The instructions could use a bit of work as well. I ended up googling a few things.

They are fun and easy to assemble.

was looking forward to doing this because it is beautiful. But, I have never done a craft that frustrated more than this! The problem is that the nails are to be hammered in, ok, but the platform is like a plastic material. The nails would come loose in the middle of a color and you have to start all over or try to glue a nail back in without disturbing the tension of the string. also, the string is slippery and that made it difficult to make knots in the beginning and end of each color. would not buy this again. you need wood for the platform and nails that have ridges to grip.
