How to Make String Art

[@ryanhendricks7304]

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.

[@seanmeehan1437]

Back again to watch this for another project. I miss Mike so much!!

[@YunowMi]

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

[@MarquieshaH1]

Most detailed version I’ve seen. Thank you

[@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!

[@lilbrownie100]

This reminds me of rubber bands and shapes in elementary. I loved how it turned out!

[@lovealways8518]

I have seen several videos on making string art and none of them can compare to yours. Love all the tips! Beautiful result 😍

[@Ttingey01]

Wow!! Great job and nice tutorial! Glad you used yarn because I have a lot of that! Thanks!!

[@kevincredible2]

Watched your video and knocked my first one out of the park. Thanks!

[@jimbobaroobud]

To save ink in making your stencil AND make the font wider, add a thin outline in light gray and then change your text to white. Your final result will look like a pencil outline of your letters. You will know EXACTLY where to place the nails.

[@TravelingFancyPants]

jimbobaroobud yea I was wondering why he didn’t do that lol

[@donharris8846]

I actually didn’t think of that even though it is blatantly obvious. Thanks

[@vedantpanchal6198]

Thank you for that suggestion. Can you help me with the font style used? I asked you because you seem to be a computer whizz. Thanking you in anticipation

[@Enviousttv]

he didnt do it because this is preschool art and his little mind doesnt know how

[@smh1128]

@@Enviousttv Wow, that was a nasty little comment.

[@veronamartin5285]

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

[@Karrot59]

I'm having Vacation Bible School kids do this project in a cross shape next week! Cant wait!

[@nikhilm.r1854]

Thank you so much....this way of threading makes it look a lot more intricate...

[@Hamoae]

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

[@The28thfish]

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

[@the_abbasali]

Awesome ❤😊

[@pantheistpinchingpennies2529]

Genuinely enjoyed how realistic this was. I've been wanting to try string art, but after seeing how similar the process is to that time I made a geoboard (and hated every second of it), I'm thinking this probably isn't the project for me!

[@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. 🌺

[@ItsViolaRose]

“The ladies love em” lol cute 💕

[@pakgallery5505]

Very nice string art i love art

[@LnJsmom]

Perfect tutorial. Very easy to see and understand. I especially like that you has an error and were able to show us that it was no big deal. We are about to try our first string art project and this being the first video I watched, I seriously doubt we will need to look for any more. Great video!

[@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 ❣️👍🏼😊

[@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!

[@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.

[@lowema38]

Best tutorial still! Thanks for the detail!

[@catrinasmith3769]

Never seen this done so well. I didnt like the string art until I saw this. Great job! Im going to try one.

[@minorperez5998]

Thanks seems like a cool project to start. Looks great

[@robertdelaplante7326]

You are a FABULOUS teacher. Thank you so much...I have always wanted to do this, string art....now I am 68 and retired and I can get right into it. You must have been doing this for a long time...you are very good. Thanks for sharing. This is my husbands "email" We haven't quite figured out how to do a separate email for me...I hope I see more of your creatations....sincerely, Linda

[@jennyscala7756]

Thanks for sharing.. looking forward to trying my first piece.

[@V.Hansen.]

Clear and concise. Helpful. Thanks.

[@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!

[@Mammaswishper]

Hei this vedio is very helpful for me... please upload more vedios about wood and string art step by step ideas or trick's for beginners.

[@ladyberry8692]

[@myralott7132]

dear god I wish I had seen this month's ago. I'm using 3874 nails (not actually) doing small pieces..like 10x10-12" and it takes me a lifetime. and haven't had a technique for outlining. creating shortcut to this vid on desktop lol thanks for sharing!

[@samantha_paige]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@kentturkow1572]

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

[@dannysantos1266]

Damn... that’s cool. Such patience. Looks awesome.

[@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.

[@DgMyer]

Cool idea dude. I think I'm gonna make this voor my eldest kid too.

[@MultiTom1956]

Something different but stands out! good job! thanks

[@sarahmanahan9678]

I remember you saying what type of wood your using. But now it’s slipped my mind and can’t find the part when u said it lol. What type of wood do u use? Great job by the way! Started doing string art and ur method is by far the nicest!

[@syderena]

He said cedar at 6:44

[@ParvaizRaja]

the best artwork for Slow children.

[@monicalawhorn2485]

Great video. I learned a lot thank you.

[@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

[@thomasmadsen4505]

how to make string art is cool 😎

[@elsagarcia1]

Beautiful!

[@LisaMFischer]

Awesome tutorial! Great job! ❤❤❤

[@nightrodspecial426]

[@lopamudrasingh7443]

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

[@raghavasureshsistla]

Good job man. Have to try this once..

[@JMWxx]

First time on your channel and I have to say you’re a very attractive guy. Seeing a guy doing something like this is oddly attractive to me... I didn’t know until now lmao.

[@kikuyuninja4832]

what software are you using to make the stencil?

[@MiguelHernandez-jy4wg]

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

[@donpatterson4973]

nice recovery the mark of excellence. Nice job

[@abhiram8987]

zing zing amazing!!

[@soniyalookose7173]

What's the size of nail u r using? Also what kind of thread it is?

[@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?

[@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

[@rockingirl75]

great work

[@thevenemas]

love it! Great job.

[@estherure940]

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

[@WoodenCreationz]

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

[@VinusGoyale]

Amazing 😍

[@tracyheberlie490]

Great video!

[@mollypoupart6187]

What string would be reccomended?

[@dhairyasharma4180]

Which kind of wood is used for base???

[@Cori761]

Why do you prefer cedar?

[@rakshithanag1995]

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

[@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.

[@ThomasWinders]

Just thinking... you could have some LEDs in between the top and the bottom lines... so the writing could be illuminated from behind.

[@f6amiials]

Great thing u made ❤️❤️

[@mattrk]

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

[@naelaperween7254]

What is the font and the font size please

[@las3perez]

What kind of wood is better for this?

[@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

[@mizboom]

Well you sure are highly motivated... 😂 But great tutorial, thank you!

[@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. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@aadelaagherdien5885]

Awesome 😎

[@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?

[@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 ?

[@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.

[@michellegarrison6228]

This is the best string art video I've seen, thank you! What type of wood would you suggest using? Also you sound like Ron Swanson, it's awesome!

[@yuancayubit8619]

WHAT FONT NAME DID YOU USED?

[@zechhillaryrose5409]

What kind and how much string do you use on projects like this?

[@ansonwong5319]

[@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.

[@AssemGamal76]

what type of wood are you using ?

[@NikolasEdrich]

does anyone know which font he was using?

[@totta0soso]

this is a great tutorial , but one question i can't make the font bigger than 72 could someone help me

[@photopro459]

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

[@mcrose6502]

What is the font you used in this video?
