How to make a yarn

What do you think of this painting made with threads? Do you like how it is or would you change something? Either way, the threadramas do not leave anyone indifferent. Try making one, and you will see your guests coming over for a closer inspection. It can be worth both to decorate the house (as is my case), or to give as a gift. And it's not a small thing. Threads tend to have high prices. I will not deceive you, although its methodology is simple, the mother author here is patience. But your chances are maximum.

Today I show you how I have managed to make mine!

Materials

• Threads
• Nails
• Hammer
• Wood plank

Our Process

1. Draw or take a template that will serve as a base to place the nails.
2. In my case, I used 51 nails for the circle, neither more nor less, and I put 5 nails through every 10 points, except for one of 11. Although it may not seem like it, 51 is a number that allows many possibilities. Later we will see why, but it is easily divisible by many other numbers and to spin combinations it comes in handy.
3. In this case, I started by joining 5 tips. Going back to the start, I put the thread on the next tip, and so on, as I show in the third image. It is important to tighten the threads, and that they do not slacken. It doesn't take much, but it does need to be tight enough to make them stiff.

4. I finished all white tracing. Then I added brown, then green, and finally yellow. For each one, I was reducing the number of nail tips away. The round shape comes out on its own, as long as you don't take off the sequence. For example, the last yellow halo, spun every 8 nails.
5. In this next one, I began to make the shape of a little boat. The two candles are already made. But look like the blue one, it gives a feeling of being rigid, and the purple one does not. And is that in the blue, I joined the opposite nails, while in the purple I did the same sequence, but in reverse.

6. The little boat finished! But look how I joined the brown threads to make the boat. As there is no sequence, and the nails are more widely spaced, it gives this additional touch of wood. It is very original.
7. In the second image, you can see what the wave appears to be. And the thing is that first I used a white thread, using the same technique as for the sail of the boat, but using a nail yes and another no. Then, I did the same with the blue thread, and when I was already halfway through, I used another softer blue thread, to give that tone of foam and transparency of the crest of a wave.

And this is how it turned out in the end! I hope you loved it, and that if it is not now, at some point you will, because really, you will not regret it!
