Fun but frustrating project.. a lesson in patience
This project took about 4 hours total. I had to stop and come back to it as it is very frustrating when you are in the middle of doing one of the colors and a nail comes loose. While hammering, other nails from other colors come loose too so you end up having to go back multiple times. I also didn't anticipate having to triple knot as the double knot comes loose as well. Overall.. a lot of lessons learned, it turned out cool.. but not sure I would spend the money on this again as the material is cheap. The board is not real wood. it's like particle board and flimsy. The hammer was okay, there is plenty of string left over (and nails) while the scissors didn't work at all. The instructions could use a bit of work as well. I ended up googling a few things.

was looking forward to doing this because it is beautiful. But, I have never done a craft that frustrated more than this! The problem is that the nails are to be hammered in, ok, but the platform is like a plastic material. The nails would come loose in the middle of a color and you have to start all over or try to glue a nail back in without disturbing the tension of the string. also, the string is slippery and that made it difficult to make knots in the beginning and end of each color. would not buy this again. you need wood for the platform and nails that have ridges to grip.

Love it!
Great value for finished size! Even includes the little hammer you need to accomplish the “unfun” part before stringing the masterpiece! Will but more for sure.

If you want something to frustrate you relentlessly cause the brads pull out so easily then this is for you. Why are screws not used??? What a waste of time and was really looking forward to relaxing and doing this.
