You see, when we moved into the house I was pretty dumbfounded by how to decorate this long hallway that we have in our entryway. I have finally decided that I am going to make a gallery wall on the right.
Now I need to actually figure out what I'm going to hang on the wall. I need to find/make a collection of items before I begin the layout. Enter pinterest inspiration! I have previously pinned (and MADE) some string state art like below.
This time I decided to tackle a "B" for Baggerly. I can already picture it hanging on our wall with some other art and pictures.
I started out with my materials:
1 board, stained
Print out of the letter B
Painter's tape
Brass Nails
Yellow string
Matt had previously stained the board for me, so that job was already done! I simply taped down the letter and began hammering the nails in around the letter. I left enough room for the string to wrap around the nails.
After the nails were all in I simply pulled up the paper around the nails.
I began wrapping the string around the nails. I made sure to wrap a string around every nail and made the pattern pretty random.
When finished, I tied the string on a nail and it was ready to be displayed!
Currently it has found its home on the mantle. Matt was impressed with my finished product!

cute! I love the idea of using a letter instead of a state. I would LOVE for you to link this up at my Ginger Jamboree Link Party!!
