Supplies






- MDF board (approx 2ft x 2ft)(5 mm thick or more)
- MDF cutter
- Multicolor yarn strings (2-4 meter each )
- Small Nails (cobbler nails)(simple 1 inch will works)
- Mallet(plastic hammer) or other similar thing
- Ice cream sticks (36 pieces)

Cut MDF Frames to Size


- Marking Frame Layout on MDF
- Use pencil and ruler to draw layout on 2ft x 2ft MDF board.
- Frame sizes:
- Small frames: 6” height × 4.5” width → make 4 pieces.
- Big frames: 9.5” height × 6” width → make 2 pieces.
- Cut Out Frames
- Use an MDF cutter to carefully cut out the 6 marked rectangles.
- Sand the edges if needed for a smooth finish.
- Tip: Always cut on a safe surface with proper hand support to avoid chipping MDF.
Draw Your String Art Design

- Design Planning
- Decide on the pattern for each frame.
- Small Frames: Flower patterns (use curves, petals, spirals).
- Big Frames: Vase outline (a container shape to insert real flowers).
- Drawing
- Use pencil to sketch the string art outlines on each MDF piece.
- You can use stencils or printouts to trace symmetrical designs.
- My plan is to draw Flowers on small MDF pieces and Vase design on Big piece for place actual flowers inside them.
- Be creative! Personalize your designs with initials, mandalas, or geometric shapes.
Mark and Insert Nails







- Spacing & Placement
- Mark nail spots along the design at 1-inch intervals.
- Ensure the distance is uniform to maintain symmetry in yarn wrapping.
- Nailing
- Use small nails and a plastic mallet to drive the nails halfway into the MDF.
- Follow the shape contour closely.
- Repeat for all 6 frames.
- Safety Note: Do not hammer too deep—leave about 2/3 of the nail visible for yarn looping.
Attach Decorative Borders





Frame Bordering
- Use ice cream sticks to create a wooden border around each MDF piece.
- Cut or trim sticks as needed for corners.
Optional Painting
- Paint sticks before attaching for color contrast.
Fixing
- Use quick adhesive to glue the sticks onto the MDF edge.
- Let dry for 15–30 minutes.
Create and Attach Frame Supports








Big Frame Support (4 Pieces)
- Cut a 12” x 10” MDF board into 12 strips of 12” x 18mm each.
- Cut 8 pieces of 80mm x 18mm from these strips.
- Join in pairs and trim ends to 30° angles.
- These form the back supports for standing big frames.
Small Frame Support (8 Pieces)
- Cut strips into 50mm x 15mm rectangles.
- Join 2 pieces at a right angle and trim top into triangle shape using a paper cutter.
- Glue triangle on top of rectangle to form easel-like support.
--These supports allow your frames to stand upright on flat surfaces like tables or shelves.
You will attach support at the end of all the steps.
Start String Art

- Mix and match bright and pastel colors like:
- Light Blue

- Tie one end of the yarn to the first nail.
- Wrap yarn from nail to nail in a consistent pattern.
- Fill in shapes or follow lines depending on the design.
- Secure End
- Tie off the yarn securely and trim the excess.
- Use a small glue dab on knots for extra hold.
-- Experiment with layering colors to give a 3D gradient or floral effect.
Add Sidearms for Hanging Accessories

- Using Spare MDF Strips
- Take leftover 12” × 18mm strips.
- Cut to desired lengths for sidearms .
- Glue horizontally or angled behind the frame.
- Functionality
