How to Make String Art

This video tutorial is a very in depth look at how I make my String art. I chose to include all the little tips I have learned the hard way. There isn’t much woodworking involved, but they make great gifts for younger ladies and they are my most requested type of wedding gift. Hope it helps!

Perhaps the best "how to" video I've seen yet. Great job and thanks!

[@MadRavenWoodworks]

+Ryan Hendricks thank you very much ryan 🙏🏼

[@justlycadag810]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@kimedick9375]

By far the best tutorial on nail string art. A lot of the other videos try to teach it in under 3 min. Thank you for your great video!

[@MarquieshaH1]

Most detailed version I’ve seen. Thank you

[@jacksongreene3885]

Oddly enough, I was about to do 2 of these as gifts, and when i saw your IG post, I decided to wait for you video. Thanks man for the tips!

[@YunowMi]

This video helped me start my string art business 👏🏽 Can't thank you enough💪🏽💛

[@The28thfish]

Awe you’re the best. Thank you. This has been the most helpful tutorial so far.

[@bridgettescreations1733]

I've done a couple of these before. I love your idea of having a eye hook above your work area to hold the string I will have to do that. I just do simple words like Welcome, Home, Love and so on so I have one temple per word and reuse it. Awesome job on yours.

[@ItsViolaRose]

“The ladies love em” lol cute 💕

[@veronamartin5285]

Nice! Still have my childhood string art! Great job!

[@lieselgutierrez7439]

Awesome❣️👍🏼 I love the idea of having the yarn extended from above 😊 wow making it so much easier to work with ❣️❣️❣️❣️ thanks for the tips and video ❣️👍🏼😊

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

Thank you sooooo much for showing us this video! Alot of 'sting-art' videos state that there is NO method to the madness (as one quoted). They looks super messy when they were done. You actually have a method to the string art madness. Your finished string art is beautiful! It is clean, has straight lines and doesn't look crappy. Some uploaders were using crochet cotton which is super thin ( the string used to crochet doilies). I wonder what bulky yarn would look like... I don't think I would get a beginning and ending outline including the filler, with the size of nail u used, lol! I would need a 2" nail! It would probably look great on a huge sign tho. Tfs!

[@Hamoae]

Hey! It is one of the best I have seen! I specially like the vintage touch of the wood!

[@CocoChanelle-1]

Thank you for making the video. It will be my first time. Your detailed info and helpful hints were the best I have watched. I appreciate all you did to help explain it. 🌺

[@weston0614]

So glad I found your video. Never heard of string art before. Will definitely be trying this. You stayed on topic and and kept me entertained the entire time. Didn't even realize it was an 18 minute video!! Great job. Subscribed.

[@MadRavenWoodworks]

+weston0614 thank you!!

[@kentturkow1572]

Very cool. I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

[@WoodenCreationz]

Looks awesome Mike!!!! You do good work man!!

[@nightrodspecial426]

Great job, told me everything I needed to know

[@22toomany20]

Thanks for sharing. You made it seem so simple.

[@katykrantz2712]

Thank you for this! I recently started trying out string art. I seem to have issues keeping my nails straight. The last time I tried one, half of them were straight up and down, then half of them ended up angled just a bit so I gave up on it. Any tips?

[@namenknappheit]

Pretty straight forward project but looks nice anyway. One question: Could you use spray glue or spray paint at the finished project, so when it gets dry you could get rid of the nails and the board? I am thinking of seperate letters filled with an led strip and would like to know if this method could be used for this task. Thanks beforehand and keep up the nice work

[@ThomasWinders]

A nice idea indeed. I was thinking of LEDs too actually. I think you could either spray-paint (or glue) the whole thing. You can also try using a mix of vinylic glue and water, and "paint" the strings with a brush with it.

[@little_paul93]

Awesome dude 🙌

[@samantha_paige]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@elsagarcia1]

Beautiful!

[@Life-25-me]

[@monicalawhorn2485]

[@MakkieMarcus]

[@little_lord_tam]

A tactical west for art. Murica is proud

[@petermunro8164]

Hi your video is very helpful.thanks

[@thomasmadsen4505]

how to make string art is cool 😎

[@donpatterson4973]

nice recovery the mark of excellence. Nice job

[@AuroraD74]

Thanks for the great tutorial! What kind of wood is that? I know you said cedar, but what do I ask for at the store? Sorry if I missed it in the video

[@estherure940]

I'm making this type of thing for the pops. Thanks so much for the guide!

[@rhondadickson4798]

Such a great video! Thank you for sharing! I have a few questions. Do you use Paint 3D, Paint Universal, or another version? What size font are you using for your template in this project? I think that is all! lol

[@judichristopher4604]

Beautifully done!!!

[@thevenemas]

love it! Great job.

[@rockingirl75]

great work

[@mallymakings2853]

This is brilliant. Very helpful and informative. You’d have to be pretty dumb to not understand your instructions. I think you taught well. Thank You. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@tracyheberlie490]

Great video!

[@abhiram8987]

zing zing amazing!!

[@wilmaspinney2832]

Hi Mike, when you run out of thread, how do you hide the attachment? ok you answered my question, one letter at a time.

[@Daguanno978]

Hey Mike, might be embarking on the string art journey soon! this video was a great intro. Should I be worried about splitting wood with all those nails? Is predrilling holes a waste of time?

[@jamessinclar6118]

From start to finish, how long did it take? I have had people ask me to do this for them. Until now I really didn't have a clue where to start. Thank you for the video!

[@lopamudrasingh7443]

Hi ! I have the same scissor and good work !👍🏻😍😃😊

[@Maineeak]

“Pull it out with a tweezer” How big are your eyebrows, dude?

[@monaelgendy9724]

That was really helpful thank you i want to try and do something like that for my nephew and i wanted to ask you what thickness is the wood you are using and nail length please ?

[@MiguelHernandez-jy4wg]

How would you buy wood this size? What type of wood is it? Thanks

[@Cori761]

Why do you prefer cedar?

[@kikuyuninja4832]

what software are you using to make the stencil?

[@rakshithanag1995]

What kinda string is better to use? Which thread is easy to clean and dust?

[@VinusGoyale]

Amazing 😍

[@OOOHBILLY]

10:38 you missed part of the H for the outline.....

[@cheddarcheefer8279]

im laughin my ass off that he fucked it up hahah

[@DanteEatSandwich]

if you watched it he goes back over it and it makes no difference

[@cheddarcheefer8279]

Dante Paltrinieri i know i felt dumb a minute after writing that

[@timothytai691]

Yeah I was wondering too

[@timothytai691]

Oh oops

[@mollypoupart6187]

What string would be reccomended?

[@mattrk]

What kind of cedar is that? Looks like flooring planks. Can you buy this at a big box store?

[@OhAshley83]

Love your Video!! Great job... May I ask what size font you used? I’m in the process of making one similar and need a little advice. Thank you

[@Aremruata_just_me]

Great art...

[@photopro459]

Did you paint the nails after they were all nailed in, during the jump cut? If so, what do you use?

[@jrclark09]

I am making a going away gift for a friend who is moving. Do you have any recommendations to about wrap 12x12 square plaques of string art?

[@villarj1]

So this question probably goes beyond a "string art" tutorial but I'm struggling with the stencil. I'm following your instructions but just can't get my font to fill the 3x1 pages. Any chance you go into a little bit more detail on creating the stencil from step 1?

[@villarj1]

And then for the wood, are those coming individual planks and your cutting and gluing them together for your projects? I've been having a hard time finding wood so I'm very curious about that part of your process as well.

[@aadelaagherdien5885]

Awesome 😎

[@dylannkersusan6686]

Great job, would you mind giving the name of the font you used? THX

[@brandydelaplane9254]

Thank you

[@hylanieroos9186]

what kind of wood is the best to do string art? Because i have used pine but some places are to expensive. Any Tips Please

[@laurabarber6697]

Hylanie Roos towards the end of the video he talks about using a thick yarn because the thick yarn will provide coverage.

[@las3perez]

What kind of wood is better for this?

[@Ddrhl]

Do you spray with a sealant or anything afterward to keep the yarn from getting dirty or is getting dirty part of the aging effect or doesn't it matter either way?

[@catfshart2255]

No

[@triplebackspace3623]

He needs to pant the backboard black and the nails. Then use phosphorescent string and outline the boarder of the backboard with a blacklight led strip. That would kick this up into a different demographic , maybe for home bars signs and game rooms.

[@mirelaazevedo114]

Faça com legendas se possível, estou assistindo do Brasil 💚💛

[@ansonwong5319]

how many string do I need for like the same size as you

[@markarmstrong2592]

Looks gr8 that is hard work you definetly need a drink after that

[@morganswanger6154]

how do you make the font so big and take up so much space?? Help!!

[@dreamydesignsbyelaine6192]

How long did it take to finish

[@1Jessie88]

Do you just use regular basic yarn for the string?

[@MadRavenWoodworks]

+1Jessie88 yep. Regular yarn

[@zaynahamed262]

What is the font name

[@chechia11]

How much would you say this costs to make?

[@KSMP]

"My good hammer" haha cute

[@sainulabid8864]

Nice..

[@laylad9235]

Super cool, but looks like it’s better tedious

[@najmajeylani6544]

Do you have a link for the wood

[@smartzen110]

Awesome

[@mcrose6502]

What is the font you used in this video?

[@rorsey98]

What font did you use?

[@sainaseddighpour9890]

What was the font size u used?

[@theclawsoncrew13]

Will this work on Photoshop too?

[@MadRavenWoodworks]

i see no reason why not. as long as the print page setup menu is still available.

[@ErickaLynn21]

Don't nail into the paper. I use a push pin to push holes into the paper and then take the paper off and do my nails.

[@marcythomas2048]

I drill mine through the paper, I tried this way and the paper gets way to stuck. Push pins a great idea too.

[@inspireme92]

It’d be cool if there was a way to add lighting to the letters

[@TroyInman]

Fairy lights work well for this. They give off great light and are super flexible so you could do one of the "outlines" with them. a.co/2g7Aam2

[@vedantpanchal6198]

Can anyone help me with the font style used?

[@DiosChotil]

2:02 and to save black ink, the cheapest one there is, i use colour, which is more expensive and all that bs nice u could've put grey instead of light blue

[@jesieniar]

Hey, where's the beginning?

[@aditikaviya70]

This looks great! :) But, America needs to adopt the metric system!

[@Sbrillibee]

ahhhhhhhmazing!

[@michellecassidy6727]

7:21 mood

[@jessicaspecht4581]

What size font did you use.

[@gardeningdianne]

Before I pressed play, your expression with mouth wide open makes it look like you have dropped something on your foot. Great video by the way. Well done.

[@boganicalart]

You're hot, you're funny and you're talented. Terrible qualities in a guy. Jk awesome job, this looks amazing!

[@jolene4991]

Clicked this video thinking that said "henti" and I was like "What in tarnation?!" Nope. Just my dyslexia.
