Nice,, it was a good explanation👌👌🙏🙏
Thanks ☺️
Most of the channels won't share such detailed explanation.
I found interest in doing this. Thank you
Thanks. I am happy that it helped you.

Thanks a lot dear 😊
Wowww brother
Thanks 😊
Hello👋🏼 this is just fantastic. you are well done and thank you for such instructive videos.
Can you help what nails you use, what size and how deep should they be and how many cm above the board? the space between the nails should be enough for the thread to shift only or should there be some certain margin to keep the image?
Thanks a lot. All of your questions are covered in subsequent videos that I posted after this video. You can refer to the string art playlist on my channel. But still here are my replies in order
1. I use nails from 7 mm wall cable clip
2. The nails should penetrate at least 1 cm to be sure that they will not pop out due to string tension. They should be at least 8-10 mm above board in case you are using a dense design. If u r using thicker threads then it should be at least 1.5 - 2 cm above board. So it’s actually a factor if ur materials and requirement
3. Space should be enough to shift the threads.
Thank you so much

Thank you for this video! I was just wondering if there's anywhere I can buy a prenailed canvas online. I don't mind making my own but its just a little tedious.
I know that there are some vendors who do provide this but not sure exactly who sells it. Alinedeco sells it I guess
Great video! Is there a software or something that I can generate the algorithm for any picture?

What is this card board length brother?? 30 cm or 50 ?
This is 34 cm diameter mdf board
@@GenieCrafts thank you bro 😍
@artistpremofficial welcome
What is the radius of board. does it change if we use board of different size
For this radius was 34 cm. With bigger. Oats you can create more realistic portraits as you will be able to accommodate more nails on a bigger board

Hi! How do you keep the strings from falling apart when you take a break? How can you secure your work? Thnaks!
Tie a knot on whatever nail you are. I think in one of my videos I have shown how to tie the knot without breaking the thread

Hey can I know if I could use STITCHING THREAD
Yes you can but y use good quality thread please
Very nice ! İ can use 30cm in diameter ? 👏
Yes you can use. Just ensure that there is enough gaps between nails to loop the thread
Will this work in small cardboard or a canvas?
Smaller the canvas, thinner the thread you need. But after a point you cannot use thinner thread as it will break under tension. The thinnest thread you can use is regular polyester sewing thread. Also, I would not suggest to go below 18 inch diameter
Where can I get the board with good thickness and more diameter.
By the way you are soo awesome in explaining all the problems that will be seen
Thanks 😊. I got it from Amazon. Search for mdf board 1 cm thickness

Can we use 19 inch round canvas ?
Yes, theoretically u can use but I have never checked if the ring if the canvas will hold under the tension of the woven threads. I have seen other artists so it though, so you can give it a try
Hello sir can you tell me where to start markimg in square hardboard
That will depend upon design and you can use a scale to evenly put marking to hammer in the nails. In case you are making portrait, then you will need to draw a circle and use the process I have already explained in my video
@@GenieCrafts thanks sir 💥
in inche which board is good for beginners ?
18 inch board
Sir which type of thread you used for this ?
Polyester sewing thread weight 80 or number 80
Hi bro... great work 🎉
And i hv one doubt.
.. Should the space between the nails must be only 1 cm? Or is it ok with 5 mm?
Thanks ☺️
As long as u have enough space between nails to weave the thread, any distance under 1 cm is ok
Thanks a lot...btw which thread better to use cotton thread or polyester thread?

Brother can you make a video of Square board instead of Circle?
Coming up in January
Instead of white background can I use black background with white threads?
The template generated is for white background only. If you will use black ground then either you will have to use coloured thread or you will have to use white thread. If you will use white thread then you will get a negative image portrait. How it will look with coloured threads you will have to experiment and find out
@@GenieCrafts okay..so better I can use black thread ryt?
@@sanushas9345 yes black thread on light background
In some tutorials the instruction is not to let the line cross the next line, but is see you do. Sometimes you do open, sometimes crossed, you think it dont matter?
Don’t understand your question. Can u explain or elaborate a bit more.
Mathematically it’s not possible to cross the previous line with next line but the lines will criss-cross eventually as it’s unavoidable
@@GenieCrafts kinda difficult for me to explain in English. I mean from the start you go from 0 to 101 to 179 but the lines crossed. Shouldn't you go around 101 the other way so the lines stay open?
Ok. I understood now. Ideally yes, the loop around the mail head should be in such a way they the lines do not cross. But it does not really affect the final look that much. If we follow this principle the final look is slightly more pleasing
How to take print for that number please tell me
I mean that 0-180 on that board
I manually add that in my nail placement diagram and then take print of it
Which type of thred used
Polyester sewing thread
😯😯😯
Thanks 😊
Hello sir,Won't it go bad after a certain limit.. It shouldn't go bad when it is customised... Can you give me an idea for that... including packing? Please tell
You mean board will go bad?
@@GenieCrafts No Sir, That's what was meant when dust caught on the thread and the work went bad
@@GenieCrafts When we give it as a gift, why don't we give it in a way so that it doesn't go bad? Can you make a video about the things to pay attention to while customizing it?please sir😍
You actually need to frame it once you have finished the portrait. That way the portrait remains in closed box and does not gather dust or moisture. But you will need frame with a little depth to accommodate for the thickness of board and nail height outside the board
Will make a video on that also in coming months
Hey another doubt, I selected 180 number of pins only but in the instructions it also says 276, 281. What about that?
That should not be possible. Please regenerate template once again
can please share the link for canvas
Please check out on itsybitsy.in
How do I get the numbers to make a portrait?
Video coming tomorrow. Please enable notification to my channel. Video will be live at 11:00 am tomorrow India time. There is another video on this on my channel but the website used in that video is not working for everyone. Here is the link - th-cam.com/video/poJNEBxHUPw/w-d-xo.html.
I suggest you watch video coming tomorrow as it is better than my original video on the same process
How many nails are better for portrait design? More nails or lesser nails?
180 at the minimum
Can I use 224 nails? Will it rouin the portrait?
@@sanushas9345 you can use 224 nails. Just ensure there is enough gap between nails to easily loop the threads and the distance between the nails is same
0.004 (0.12mm) Diameter Thread is this thread good to use?
Threads go by weight. I use weight 80 thread for portrait. Any thinner it might break
Can you please give us link of that thread?
I get from wholesale market. I don’t have the link
Brother how can I konw where to take zero
For a circular frame any nail can be zero
Can I use 1mm thickness thread for this potrait string art?
1 mm thread is too thick for portrait. What i need is 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm thickness thread for portrait.
With 1 mm thickness you will need very big board to compensate for the dense space that will be created by thick thread.
Also threads are measured in weight. For portrait weight 80 is ideal thickness. Higher the weight, thinner the thread.
@@GenieCrafts thank yo soo much

How can we know the numbers ,Is there any app fr numbering
Please check out my other videos. I have covered this
What kind of thread should I use to make string portrait art, pls?
You need a strong thread. Normally polyester threads or nylon threads are good. But nylon threads are very slippery to handle and if accidentally you lose grip of the thread, a lot of previous loops will unravel. With polyester less work in undone. Also the thread weight should be 80. Any lower the thread will be too thick and the entire portrait will become very black, even on areas where very less threads are passing. Any higher there are chances of thread breaking. But if you are able to acquire a high tensile thread of higher weight, it will be even better
@@GenieCrafts Thank you so much. It's really helpful advice 🥺❤️

@@GenieCrafts But for that I have to take membership 😢, I am a student as well as a beginner, can you please tell me only the name of the thread? Please brother?
@niladhrysinha6137 I already told you the name of thread - polyester thread. Also I understand a lot of my subscribers are college going students and hence the membership fees of Rising Genie membership is only ₹59 a month. Extremely affordable.
That board will get on online?
I did not find the same thickness online. Mine was 1 cm thick. Max I got online was 7 mm thick which should also work but I have not tried it. Also I did not do very intensive search online. So chances are you can find online

@@diljitht6361 😊
Can 126 pins are okay for 30cm diameter circular board?
The problem that I have seen with less number of nails is that the template is not clear. Hence for portraits I don’t go below 180 nails. For any other design any number of nails work
@@GenieCrafts okay but the board size i have is 30 cm diameter so by 180 pins the distance is very less i.e. 0.5 cm approx.
So what should i do can you suggest?
@@jayprajapati9691 such small board is not ideal for portrait making. Even if you somehow adjust 180 nails and make the portrait it will come out very dense. Minimum diameter for portrait should be 45-50 cm
Please share the link of the board

How v get to know where to mark 0
It does not matter. You can mark 0 anywhere.
How many nails do you fit in this?
In numbers
180
Can i do this in a 12 inch bord
Yes. But output might get too dense
What about using normal sewing thread on 12 inch board
@calmsleep8490 you will use normal sewing thread only but it will still be dense as the board diameter will be small. Also you will be able to accommodate lesser number of nails
Sir, what would be the appropriate diameter for 240 pins?
I think minimum diameter should be 25 inch diameter
@@GenieCrafts thank you sir, and last time I tried it the image mirrored, is it cause I numbered the pins anticlockwise?
Yes. Number the pins clockwise
@@GenieCrafts thank you sir 😁
Civi mesafeleri 0,5cm midir
I normally don't measure the distances. I generate the nail placement diagram using the different techniques I have covered on my channel. Goal is to ensure that after you place the nails the distance between the heads of two adjacent nails is enough for you to loop the thread easily without any obstruction. In general the distances between the nails vary between 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm. But again I do not place nails by marking distances between the nails in centimeters
Normalde mesafeleri ölçmüyorum. Kanalımda anlattığım farklı teknikleri kullanarak tırnak yerleştirme şemasını oluşturuyorum. Amaç, çivileri yerleştirdikten sonra, iki bitişik çivinin başları arasındaki mesafenin, herhangi bir engel olmadan ipliği kolayca ilmeklemeniz için yeterli olmasını sağlamaktır. Genel olarak çiviler arasındaki mesafeler 0,5 mm ile 0,8 mm arasında değişmektedir. Ama yine çivilerin arasındaki mesafeleri santimetre cinsinden işaretleyerek çivi yerleştirmiyorum

How to draw a circle How to calculate its dimensions
Use big compass to draw the circle. To calculate centre. Place board on a large paper, and draw the circle around it. Then cut the circle on paper. For the circle in half and then again fold it in half. The intersection point of two folds is centre of the circle and from there you can check the radius from centre to circumference
