Why is a nail punch necessary for creating string art?
We recommend using templates with a nail punch - you attach the template to the art board using painter's tape, create holes in the art board using a nail punch according to the template, and then remove the template and nail it.
Please note that this technique should be used when working with reusable plastic templates made specifically for crafts.
For paper templates, direct nailing technique can also be used - you place the paper template on the art board, secure it to the board, and nail directly onto the template.
However, in this case, you will need to retrieve the paper template after nailing, which can be challenging, especially for densely nailed projects.
Therefore, even when using paper templates, we still recommend making holes in the art board with a nail punch according to the template, removing the template, and then nailing.
