Step by step

  1. Place the board on a protected, stable surface and secure the template squarely.
  2. Hammer nails at the marked points, leaving an even height above the board.
  3. Remove the paper carefully while supporting the nails.
  4. Tie the thread to the starting nail with a double knot and follow the order on the chart.
  5. After the final pass, tie off the thread, trim the tail and check the pattern is even.

What matters most

  • You will need a small hammer and a work surface that is protected from dents.
  • Use short vertical taps so the nails do not lean.
  • Too much tension can bend a nail or snap the thread.
