DIY Grinch Christmas Decor Instructions

1. Stain wood plaque and let dry. Tape template to wood. Dots are just a guide, hammer nails as close together as possible, placing a nail in every corner, but ignoring difficult nail placements.

2. Adjust outline as needed for difficult placements especially the fingers. Once the nails are all hammered in, remove the paper template because it is difficult to remove after the thread has been strung. 

 

 

 3.  Use template or image on booklet cover as a guide for what color thread to use and start stringing your nails. Begin with red sleeve and tie the red string onto a nail, securing it with a knot.  

 

 

4. Use red string to outline the sleeve by winding string around each nail in section. Once outlined begin randomly stringing inside of section  to cover as much as possible. Keep string snug. 

 

5. Once the inside is filled in with string completely, tie a knot in the string & tighten around a nail. Snip the ends then tuck them inside the string art to hide them. 

 

 

6. Repeat with every section of the grinchmas project. Optional: go back and outline the edges with each color of string again just to define it nicely. 

 

 

 

7. Take a hard card (eg a credit card) & rub it over the decal. Slowly start peeling the paper away from the clear transfer paper with saying on it. If decal starts coming off rub again & try re-peeling.

 

8.  Once the decal is on the clear transfer paper, place on wood plaque & rub with card to adhere. Pull up the clear transfer paper slowly, rubbing saying with card as needed to adhere to wood.
