Soccer Ball String Art Kit by Wizardi F07-M12-4-DHBB28027

A white and black soccer ball fills a black wood-grain square board, every panel outlined in silver nail heads. It is a DIY string art kit: you set the nails, wind the thread and end up with a piece of wall or shelf decor you made yourself.

The black-and-white panel ball became the face of soccer at the 1970 World Cup, and it is still the most recognised ball in the world. Thread art needs no drawing skill: the nails set the outline and the thread does the shading, which is why it has stayed a favorite relaxing craft for decades.

Why this kit: a square board with a gold-tone trim that looks finished without a separate frame; pre-drilled holes, so the nails line up perfectly; and a bold design that reads clearly from across the room.

Kit includes: a pre-drilled square board with a gold-tone trim, a bag of nails, spools of colored thread, a fold-out stand with an adhesive pad, a small hammer and illustrated instructions. Not included: scissors for trimming the thread ends.

Tap the nails into the pre-drilled holes with the small hammer, tie the thread to a starting nail, outline the shape first and then fill it in with criss-cross passes, one color at a time, finishing with a small knot. The nails are small and sharp, so it is a project for adults, teens and older children working with an adult.

The finished piece measures about 20 x 20 cm (7.9 x 7.9 in). It is a natural fit for a kid's room, a game room or a team clubhouse, and makes a thoughtful gift for a soccer player, a coach or a fan.
