I’ve hoarded a few art pieces to hang in our bedroom. Nothing new, just things I liked that didn’t fit anywhere else in the house. But the group seemed incomplete. So I made another nail and string dude. Because I wanted gold, I spray painted some nails. And a chunk of scrap MDF black.
Using an old envelope with marks as my template, I made a plus sign. To keep the painted nails, well, painted, I covered my hammer with a scrap of leather.
Then went crazy with gold embroidery floss, covering the center, then wrapping around the outside twice.
A mismatched, mixed bag of favorites is now a gallery wall in our bedroom.
Very, very slowly our room is starting to feel lived in. Sheesh, only a year and a half later. And we’re covering up the awful orange peel texture and spotty cobalt blue walls.
Oh I can’t wait to scrape the popcorn off the ceiling, replace the old windows, and finally repaint this room.
What do you think of the new art? Have a happy Friday and weekend, everyone!

I love the new art! Very creative and textural.
Thank you so much, Decorum DIYer! So glad you like it. 🙂
That’s so cool Amanda. I love it! You just have me an idea to add to our hallway gallery wall!
Hey Shavonda!
Woohoo! Go ahead and make yourself a nail and string art piece. 🙂 Can’t wait to see it!
Thanks!
Amanda
La-la-love those fingerprint pieces! Did you make those? Or where did you purchase? I don’t see them in your Etsy shop but I would love to get some for our new house 🙂
Hi Vanessa!
Aww, thank you so much! I did make the fingerprint art. I’d happily make you a set if you’re interested.
Thanks!
Amanda
Very creative! I want to dig out box of old nails.
Thanks so much, Pine Tree Home!!
I love it and the other art work. I think I will try it but I think I will make a cross or a heart. It’s funny how you hang stuff up and it can look like a mish mash of stuff and then presto you add one more thing and it’s PERFECT!! Best Wishes! Toodles, Barbi
Hey Barbi!
Definitely make one. Super fun and you can make anything!
Thanks!
Amanda
Beautiful! I really want to make some string art, I just love the texture that it brings into a room.
