How to Create a Stunning String Art Portrait at Home on Your Own

DIY Step by step tutorial

This is a short step by step demonstration of how to make a string art picture on your own.

First, create a string art scheme based on your favorite image with WowStrings.com string art generator, and print it out.

Also, prepare a square white board, a black thread, 240 nails, a scissor, and a hummer.

Print out the page with nail positions template in big format in any printing shop.

Attach the template to the board, and cut out the unused area outside the circle.

Find the middle of the board side, and place the nail #181 in that point.
Adjust the template to make padding equal on all four sides.
Fix the template with four nails.

Then, drive in the rest of the nails.

Cut out the unused area inside the circle.
Make many radial cuts to be able to easily remove the paper once the artwork is ready.

Attach the thread to the first nail.

Wrap the thread around nails according to the provided number sequence.

Once the artwork is ready, remove the paper.

Enjoy.
