Hello sir i have seen your videos those are really amazing n got inspired but i want some clarity that if i use 200 nails which size circular board should be taken and what distance each nail should be placed. It will be greatful if u answer me
Minimum size of a board Afro any string portrait should be 18 inch diameter. As for how to calculate distance between nails please watch this video th-cam.com/video/2ildkrkeseI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MjsG2g67Wf_VdAfJ
first of all, thank you for making these videos. i saw string art on social media en immediately wanted to make one of my own. But i didnt know where to look or search on how to do it. I ended up here on your channel and i havent started yet, but i am excited to start thanks to your clear explination videos. But i have a question, how do i know if i need to number from 0-179 or from 1-180? Im sorry if this question is asked before but i couldnt find it in the comment so i hope you can help me! Thanks!
Some websites start the numbering from 0 and some from 1. So looking at the template I can determine from where to start numbering, 0 or 1. But if you are not able to do so do not worry. Suppose you number from 0-179 but your template does not have 0 then in that case you can treat 0 as 180. Similarly if you numbered from 1-180 but you template has 0 then in that case you can treat 180 as 0

Hello, thankyou soo much for this
I really appreciate it. 🌻
But i have a question. What does the line width and transparency mean? Also i am making a string art potrait with 0.12 mm thick thread...will it be good?
Line with means Thickness of thread. Not sure about transparency. I don’t know Thickness in mm but if the 0.12 mm Thickness is weight 80 polyester thread, then yes the thread will be ok.
😍
Thanks 😊
My friend, help me urgently, I saw this from you, I went and bought nails, I bought a frame, but I don't know if it is 1 cm between 1 and 180, mine is 47.5 in diameter and I don't know what to do, I did everything without applying it, but I stuck with this, I am a Turk.

If 300 nails and wat is the diameter of MDF board and where u buy mdf circle board
Hi sir, can you please tellme which type of paper are you pasting to the mdf board?
I used to paste 300 gsm paper, but now I paint the board with white gesso
Hi genie! Do you create square shapes for your string art?
Yes, I will be doing that in future
Wow .
😊
How to not get flip, where to put the zero from left or right where the number 1 start from up or down, so not its not flipped?
It does not matter where you put zero. Once you have put zero you start numbering the nails in clockwise direction. That way you will not get the flip
Dear friend, thanks for the clear narrative. How u make marking for nails. How you split each nails exactly at 2deg apart? Pls shed some light on it.
Thanks. I have briefly explained that in my first string portrait video. Planning to make a separate video on prep of board for string art. Coming soon.
@@GenieCrafts thanks mate..

I would like to use a very large circle. If I select 180 and 3000 using String Art Generator, how will I know how to change the image? Your videos are the most helpful I have found. Thank you.
Distance between your nails should not be more than 8mm. So if you choose bigger board then your nail count will also increase accordingly. If these is too much gap between nails like 180 for a large board, the edge of your portrait will not look good due to excessive gap between the nails
@@GenieCrafts That was super helpful. Thank you!
Welcome
Is it only circular portraits or can you make other shapes like squares?
Yes we can make squares. There is a video posted on on my channel
Sir, how do I determine the frame? I mean how many centimeters it is, and I also want to know that there are different pictures for the picture. Thank you very much.

IF MY NAILS ARE NOT PERFECTLY PLACES NI THE HEIGHTS IS IT OKAY
It will not look good after final work but it will not impact ur weaving process. You will get consistency after practice or u can get a carpenter to get it done
Is that any number reading app
I don’t know any but I am sure there would be some app out there
How can we overcome from the dust & moisture. As it is a wooden board, there are chances of breaking when they absorb moisture from the air & the dust may fall on the thread that makes the art not clear after days.
Please, Can you suggest any tip for these type of problems.
Valid concerns. To avoid the issues, the board needs to be prepped with wood varnish and the entire artwork needs to be framed to avoid dust and moisture
@@GenieCrafts Yeah we can frame the wooden board. But what about the thread?
Once framed, it remains safe for a long time
@@GenieCrafts framed? You mean like circular glass on the top of nails & fix it?
No put entire thing in a square shadow box
what thickness thread to use??
Weight 80 polyester sewing thread
Bro please tell how many cm in diameter
34 cm diameter
What is the thread you use for portrait art
I have used polyester thread weight 80. Or u also know it as regular polyester sewing thread
what nail size to be use bro
I use nails from 7 mm cable nail clip
Can you mention the store site where you bought the board?

Can I use plywood instead of MDF board
Yes, you can. However hammering nails would be harder on plywood as compared to mdf board

1st of all thanks to sharing this tutorial.tell me one thing what is distance between each nail. Plz tell me.

@@GenieCrafts just tell me one thing. In the circle potrait from which side should I start the 1st nail? If I put the circle in front of me then 1st nail start from which side up/down/right/left? Hope you understand my point.
Varies from program to program. But in general 3’O clock is the place where you put the first nail and then move clockwise
where can I find the board with nails on it can I buy it from you
You can buy but if u r not in India you will end up paying too much as the shipping cost will be a lot. Far easier to get the board and hammer it in. Boards and nails are available online on Amazon. You can search for mdf boards
@@GenieCrafts thank you
what should be done if the thread gets over in the middle
If it’s a commissioned project, then u need to restart, ideally. But you can tie the threads properly and trim off the extra length near knots. But always have sufficient length handy. In case the knot does not get covered by subsequent loops, it does not look good
@@GenieCrafts Thanks a lot :) what should be the ideal length of thread needed to complete in one go for a portrait
@@aishwaryaramasamy933 depending upon ur board diameter calculate length of one loop. Multiply that by total number of loops in ur template and ur thread should be at least 10 m longer than that
Is it numbering from 0 - 179 in carboard.
You marked number in 1 - 180??
It’s 0-179

How to purchase MDF BOARD
Available on Amazon online
Hlo bro plz you make board size
Sorry did not understand ur question. Please clarify.
How many nails you use
Depends upon size of board. For smaller board u will not be able to use as many nails as you can for a larger board. For this board I have use 180 nails at a separation of 2 degree each
Sir i am unable to download app..
It’s not an app. It’s a website and it will work in a browser only
How can we understand the radius of the circle??
Normally when u buy the boards the seller will tell u the diameter or radius. But in case you don’t have the info you can follow below method
Place the board on a piece of paper and then trace a circle around the board. Cut out the circle from paper. Now carefully fold the circle in exactly half. Then fold again in half to make it a quarter. By doing so you will get an intersecting point. Once you have the centre you can measure radius easily with scale
There are other mathematical ways also but this is much simpler
@@GenieCrafts thank you so much for so instant reply. No TH-camr replies so fast.. Thanks 🥰 . You will grow more dear💕

Board - thikness and Size?
11mm thickness 34cm diameter
If we start with number 1 as mentioned in the template it will create wrong portrait or what
In case your template does not have zero, you can treat 0 as last number. So if your board has 0-179 then 0 becomes 180
@@GenieCrafts no no I understand what you are trying to say but my question is if I start with 1 then what will happen......my work will become wrong or what....?
Start with the nail which is starting point in your template.

Why start 0-179 , total pin 180 (1-180)?
Sorry your comment for tagged for review for some reason. The numbering depends upon the software or website you are using to generate the template. Some start from 0 and some start from 1.
Apne kaha 0-179 counting hoga but apne to 1-180 ki hay
Both are same. You can go 0-179 or 1-180

@@GenieCrafts I'm sorry, you can only tell me how much between the nails, please.
If it’s a square board then u can measure with scale and space the nails equally but if it’s a circular board then the final distance between the nails will depend upon board size and how many degrees apart nails are. For example for a circular board, if u r using 180 nails each will be 360/180 = 2 degrees apart. Anyways for circular board I have prepared a tutorial on how to generate mail placement for a circular board. Please refer to this video th-cam.com/video/xoT-7z6qAtk/w-d-xo.html
At the end minimum distance between the nails should be 5 mm for easy looping of thread, no matter what type of board u r using
Sir, how do I determine the frame? I mean how many centimeters it is, and I also want to know that there are different pictures for the picture. Thank you very much.
This kind of portrait does not look good on a small frame. So I recommend the starting size to be 20 inch diameter frame. On this size also I do not recommend to use more than 180 nails. The minimum separation between the nails is to be 5 mm but this will depend upon board size. E.g for same number of nails on a board of 15 inch diameter the distance between the nails will turn out to be smaller than for the board of 20 inch diameter.
Pictures matter. What I have figured out through trial and error is that picture is to be of high resolution with good brightness to contrast ratio. Also when generating the template fill the entire area with the face of the subject. The bigger the face, the better the template will be
@@GenieCrafts You mean how much bigger the picture is, you need to use more nails, for example, if it's 50 or 60 inches.
@@GenieCrafts I'm sorry, I annoy you, but i haven't seen any place except your page that makes it so beautifully clear as you are.
@@ahmadnusry9766 so first the board should be big so that the final output is not that dense. Secondly when you select an image, you have to zoom in till the circular frame only contains only face of the subject.
@@ahmadnusry9766 not an issue. Please ask away.
