Welcome to the first part of the project!
We are very happy to see you here :)
Let us briefly explain what the construction phase will be about and how to successfully finish it and proceed further. Before you start your work all the materials and tools should be collected!

Need help? Here you can find it!
If you are new to certain tools or would like to use a professional machine, you can seek for help in special placed located within your city. Look for FabLab (short for Fabrication Laboratory), where you can fine both the expert knowledge of the workers and oftentimes access to certain tools and machines. Such places aim to play, learn and create, building a ground for innovation
Below you can find a list of open workshops located in the city of Stuttgart.
By building your own hotel for non-human inhabitats of your city, you contribute to preserving and enriching biodiversity.
That is definitely something BIG!
String art DIY
Depending on your design, you can either use embrodery thread that will result in delicate and precise final artpiece. For bigger designs, you may prefer to use thicker string, e.g. crochet thread. Apart from that, collect a piece of wood that will act as a canvas for your design.
Create your design, either digitally or manually. If you don't have an idea for the design, we encourage you to get inspired by nature surrounding you. A good strategy is using a hexagonal form, resembling a honeycomb. The final project should be in the exact scale that you wish to do your design. On the project, mark all the nail positions. Nails should be placed around 0,6cm apart from one another, so they are finely spaced. Mount the design to your piece of wood (canvas) but attaching the nails in the proper positions. Once every nail is set, remove your template and start wrapping the string by doing a fine, simple knot on the first nail. After finishing the outline of the project, start filling in the shape according to your imagination and creativity!
This technique is great to practice nailing as well as relaxing by working with threads.
Hopefully, you will have plenty of fun doing your design.
