How to make String Art | Tutorial 

I know, I was all over the place with measurements. I’m want to make an updated video with better instructions.

Awesome! Hope your project turned out good!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for your support!

Thank you!

Your comment is of most epicness, thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! I’ve got some more video to come that you may enjoy.

I’m m glad it was able to help. Hope it turned out good!

Do you know what your board width and length was for you scale? approximately?

Thank you! Got some more string art video coming out very shortly if you're interested.

Thank you!

Great idea! I just looked up some photos and that projects looks awesome. I’ll get working on one as soon as possible. Thanks for the video suggestion!

Thank you!

Sorry about the audio, hope your project turned out well.

Obrigado!

Thank you!

Love the art work but could hear you

Thank you!

Ahhh... sounds like a cool technique. I'm thinking about re-making this video so I'll make sure to remember this. Thanks!

Спасибо за поддержку

I'm sorry that you weren't able to hear the audio, I'm working on getting a microphone.

Yes, it would be much easier to use a ruler to find all the marks. I didn't even think about that until I read your comment. I also really like your idea of painting the background then adding string. That might be one of my future videos! Thanks for your support.

I’m sorry that you were having trouble with the audio. I really need to get a microphone so when I do, the audio will sound much better. I have some videos that I’m currently editing so I’ll make sure that the audio quality is better than this video.

Thank you for your support!

Yes, I’ll be making another string art video very soon and I can promise that the video quality will be much better

So sorry to be responding to your question this late but if you're making this project for yourself, the thickness of the thread is up to you. You can decide. If you want the thickness that I used, the thread is roughly .0163" or .414 mm. if you're wondering the number of the thread, I'm not sure what it is but I have a link in the description to the thread that I used for this project.

Thank you!

I’m sorry but I don’t really understand what you’re saying. If you try rephrasing it, I might understand and could answer your question.

Basically what I do is for every centimeter, I add one nail. For example if there are 10 centimeters in a line, I would add 10 nails to that line. I also try to make the wooden board an even number so it’s easier to calculate the number and placement of the nails.

Thanks for your comment. I made this a few years ago when my editing skills weren't the best. Sorry if the quality was bad.

@JackWood25 do you have a specific high and type of nails you are using?

That’s a great idea!

I’m glad to help but right now I have to study for some big tests that are coming up and I don’t have the time at the moments to measure and figure out the dimensions that you need. I’ll be able to get back to you tomorrow morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ohh, that’s fine we’ll get back with you tmr. Thanks for the reply

Sorry to be responding so late but I think I figured out a solution for you. In my tutorial, I explained that there are 50 nails, 1 centimeter apart from each other and half a centimeter from the edge, on the top and bottom and 109 nails placed through the diagonal. I know that you want yours a little bigger than what I demonstrated. If I were you, I would keep adding nails on the top and bottom until you're half a centimeter away from the edge. Say I placed 60 nails. On the diagonal, I'll do the same. Add more nails until I reach the end. Say that I have 119 nails on the diagonal. Because I've added 10 nails to the diagonal and on both ends of the sheet of plywood, I would divide that by 2, to get 5, and add 5 more steps or loops to the string. When adding the string, in my demonstration I strung the white string around ten nails but since the board is bigger, I'll loop the string around 15 nails. Of course, this will be different because your board size will be different. Just to recap, count the number of nails that you'll add to the end and the diagonal, divide it by 2, then add that number when adding your string. If this is still confusing, just leave another comment.

Thank you for the message, we’ll try it out and let you know how everything went. Tysm Jack

@@tomymathew9100 no problem!

Personally, I like to use fine sewing thread. I do know that some people like to use thicker string but its all up to your preference. I have a link in the description to the exact string that I used in the video if that's helpful.

I generally purchase them from Home Depot. Although, I don’t know if this store is in your area. You really only need 1 inch, or 2.5 cm long picture hanging nails. For a pack of 200, it should cost you more than $5.

@JackWood25 Thank-you, yes there is a Hone Depot near me. I will definitely check it out. I can't wait to get started 😃

The plywood is 1/2 inch think or 1.2 centimeters. I then use 1 inch or 2.5 centimeter long nails. Because the nail is twice as long as the plywood, the nail stick out 1/2 inch or 1.2 cm.

@@JackWood25 Thank you!! This will be my first project so hopefully it comes out as nice!

@@_dmshell_ Awesome! I hope that you have fun building it!if you have any other question, I’m here to help.

Sorry I haven’t made it yet, I’ve been really busy with school but it will be the next video that I post.

Ok 🙂🙂☺️

It’s okay if you have 110 marks. I’ve built this a few time before with more than 109 marks. Just keep following my video but when you add the last color, you’ll have one more nail to pass and you color may overlap at the middle of the diagonal line. If this is still confusing to you, I’m here to help.

And yes, count both corner marks.

I’m not completely sure what are the best nails. I’ve made multiple string art projects and I’ve found that 1 inch picture hanging nails work really well.

Thank you!

Sorry to be responding this late but the nails that I used are just 1 inch long, picture hanging nails.
