And that maybe would have been an issue anyway, reason numer two. The nails got very close to each other, and if a nail leans over a little bit to the nail next to it, you won’t have very much space where the yarn should go around. ![]() The first reason were my hammering skills. I first started with 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) between every 2 nails, but there were 2 reasons I turned away from that. Second: you need to have the same space between two nails. I would go for at least 1 cm (0.4 inch) if I had to do this again. I used a square of 23 cm (9 inch), so I had 0.25 inch left on each side, but it’s better to make that a little wider, so you can hold the frame in your hands better, to have more grip. Actually, you can better leave more space between the outside of the frame and the nails. I decided that I wanted to use as much space as possible, so I went to the outside as close as possible. I expected, that if I had to put nails in these places, they would get loose in no time, so I had to go to the inside or the outside of the frame. The wood was pierced a bit, so I decided that I didn’t want to have nails in that area. As you can see in the picture of the loom, on the left side there are 2 places where the ribbon was attached. You will have a nail on each corner, and the rest goes in between them, in a square. It doesn’t matter if it’s an even or odd number of nails. Step 2: measuring and what to take into accountįirst of all you need the same amount of nails on each side. So I removed that all (needed to use a little screwdriver for that), so that only the wooden frame remained. ![]() There were some clips on the back, that held the glass and the drawing that was in it in place, and a ribbon was attached, to hang the frame on the wall. I first removed the glass plate from the frame. One box would have been enough, but I wanted to have two colors, which I will explain later Nails: 1.2 x 20 mm (about 0.04 x 0.79 inch), a bit more than 2 euro’s at the hardware store.You can buy a smaller one, a bigger one, but I found this one that I thought it was suitable for what I had in mind, and I liked the size Was about 4 euro’s at Action (kind of a Dollarstore). Picture frame: my frame was 24 x 24 cm ( about 9.5 inch), measured at the outside.I don’t always know if it’s more familiar to you to use fractionals, so you’re welcome to correct me in the comments. I sometimes had to round the measurements, so please check. I tried to add the measurements in inches, but please please please, do your own math and check with your own ruler. I’m Dutch, and I measured everything in centimeters and millimeters. Want to see the video? Scroll down to the end of this page!
