Koala and Bee String Art Hanger by Piggy Crafts This cuddly koala is ready to decorate your children’s room! Also great for a nursery, so look into this for your next baby shower! It comes with 2 picture hangers attached to the back. Handcrafted on solid wood, coated with transparent water-based varnish for a natural look. Please remember that colors may vary due to monitor settings. Also please be aware that each piece of wood is unique and therefore has unique characteristics such as knots or dents. We give a lot of attention and care in each piece we create, to ensure you will love it. If you have any questions or requests, feel free to ask. The process for each handmade wooden board is as followed: • First, the desired pattern is created on paper. This step is required to determine the right dimensions of the board and the number of nails needed. • The second step is to cut the board from a larger piece of wood. • Once the board is cut, wood filler/putty is used, to close any cracks (if needed). The board is sanded using an electric sander, to make sure it feels as smooth as possible. • After sanding, wood stain and waterproof varnish is applied on the board. For a more natural look wood stain may be skipped, but the board is always sealed with transparent varnish to protect it and make it last longer. • Instead of wood stain, waterproof wood varnish is often used (which both colors and waterproofs the board). After this step, the board is lightly sanded once more, before the second layer of varnish is applied. • Once the board is ready, the paper pattern is used to trace the nail holes on the piece. • The board is carefully nailed using a hammer, making sure every nail is as straight as possible. • The next step is to wrap cotton thread/embroidery floss around the nail grid to bring the design to life!
