Adorn magazine is amazing.

Check out what I did today!

Remember those things from the seventies made from yarn using that line art called symmography?  I didn't either, it's ok.  Mom knew what I was talking about though.  I got the idea from my new Adorn magazine.  They have a whole write up on seventies crafts which are totally groovy.  But I actually put myself to work on this one.

Lowes had great 24"x24" Red Oak (I think >_<) that I sanded and stained with Minwax, Red Mahogany, then Shelac-ed.  I'm so happy I own Shelac, you have no idea.   Anyway, I followed the directions on the nailing part (after complaining for about 20 minutes that I couldn't find my masking tape and saying I had to go out and get some right then because I need all things completely at once and then finding it right where I left it)...but I had more issues with the stringing.  I was making it way too hard for myself, so my boyfriend, the great voice of reason, stepped in after a little mini mental break down from myself >_<.  He just read the directions and showed me how to do it lol.  That's why I love him!  So the end result:
