1. Introduction: Hi friends, My name is Jino and welcome to
to a String Art project. This project is all
about making your own. String Art design. In the
following lessons, I will be explaining about
how to create a String, Art design, and make your
own String Art project. This project is
mainly for beginners. So if you like to
learn about String Art, then this class may give you a good inspiration
for getting started. I have been doing String Art since 2015. To Me, String Art is a Hobby and it also keeps me to
be calm and patient. I will guide you through all the step-by-step process in
the String Art project. And I can promise you that there are more
projects on the way. The following lessons, I will share with you a lot of tips and tricks which are going to be useful when you make your
own String Art project. Hopefully you will show me
your string at along the way. And I would surely give you a genuine feedback
for the same. Once you have completed
this project, you will end up with your
beautiful piece of String Art and the skills and confidence to
start up your next String Art project. In the following lessons, I will be explaining about the following steps for
creating String Art design. I will explain about the tools
and materials used to make the String Art, making platform
ready for doing String Art. And finally, the step-by-step process to make String Art design.
2. Tools and Materials: Hi friends. In this session, I will be explaining about the tools and materials which I
have used for this project. I will be also showing some other materials which I'm using for my String Art projects. In this project, I have
mainly used silk thread, plywood, hammer, nails, Rexine
and some other materials. In this session, you
will see all the tools and materials which I have
used for this project. For each String Art, I will be selecting
the thread based on the design only. If the design has a lot of connections
between the nails and there are only
less number of nails, then I will be using very narrow Silk thread. as I have used
for this project, for the background of the string art, I may use different colors. If I need to give a
different color background. In this project, I have used golden color silk thread for creating this
beautiful String Art. for drawing the design diagram. I have used Pencil, Paper, Protractor, divider and scale. I have used 20 millimetre
nails for this project. And I have used a normal size hammer for
hammering the nails. And it is also good
to have a pliers to adjust the nails
into the exact position. I have used Rexine to cover the plywood to give
a uniform background and scissors is used to cut the Rexine and also
to cut the thread. Using Rexine to cover the
wood is an optional step. You don't need to do the same. You can directly
place in nails on the wood and start the String Art. And I have used a square plywood piece with a
dimension of 300 millimetres, and the thickness is
almost 20 millimetres. These are the main tools
and materials which I have used for completing this
string art project. The next session,
I will be showing how to make a platform
ready for doing String Art.
3. Create Platform ready for String art: Hi friends. In this session, I will be explaining
how to create a platform ready
for doing String Art. I will be showing a step-by-step
process for the same. First step is coloring the wooden board or
covering the wooden board. This is an optional
step because you can also directly do the
String art on the wooden board. In this project, I have
used a piece of Rexine to cover the background because
it will give a uniform color. Follow these steps
to do the same. first step is completed. now we have a background
with a uniform color. Second step is drawing the string art diagram
for your project. For this, first, draw a
line with 280 millimetres. the dimension of the wooden
board is 300 millimetres, so I'm going to give 280
millimetres for the String Art design. There should be some gap on
every side of the String Art. For a better look. Mark the center point on the line, the radius of the design, will be 140 millimetres. Take 140 millimetres on the divider and draw a half circle,
as you can see now. After drawing the half circle, we need to split the
circle using a protractor. For this design, we
need 30 nail points. So the splitting
angle will be 12 degrees, use protractor to
divide the circle. As you can see now.
note that the center of the protractor should be placed on the center
point of the line. Draw a line from the center point to the
circle line. As you can see now, after splitting the circle, place the center of the design diagram, at the center of the wooden board
, as you can see, you can use a tape to fix the diagram on the wooden board so that the
design won't move while hammering the nails. hammer the nails on the circle
points as you can see now. After completing
the first half, just extend the lines to place the nails on the second half,
as you can see now, Remove the paper diagram once
all the nails are placed. You can use a pliers to
adjust the nails as straight as possible to get
a perfect and beautiful result. Now the platform is
ready for String Art. In the next decision,
I will be showing the graphical
representation of the String Art design for your
better understanding.
4. Graphical Representation: Hi friends. In this session, I will be showing the graphical representation
of the String Art mandala design. This
graphical representation, we give you a good
understanding of the design and the step-by-step process to
complete this project. Choose the dimensions based on the size of the
wooden platform, as we have seen in
the previous session, I took 280 millimetres as diameter. For the 300
millimetres platform. First step is drawing a circle. Second step is dividing
the circle by twelve degrees to get 30
points on the circle, as you can see now,
now we have the nail points for doing the String Art. Next step is a cycle. For this step, select any nail point and tie the
string to that nail. Connect the string from
the selected nail point to every other nail points,
as you can see now. First cycle will be completed once you have connected
the string to all the other nail
points. Repeat the same process from every nail points in
the clockwise direction. As you can see now. You will get the final result once all the
nail points are connected. I hope now you have a very good understanding
about this String Art design. In the next session, I will be showing
how to complete the string art design
using thread.
5. String Art Instructions: Hi friends. In the
previous sessions, you have learned
about the tools and materials used for this project and you also have learned how to create a platform
ready for doing String Art. And you have also
learned how to draw a design diagram and the step-by-step process to complete the
String art design. With all these knowledge, we can start this session. As you already
know first step is selecting a nail point and
tie the string onto that nail. From the selected nail point, connect the string to
every other nail points As you can see now.
You don't need to tie the string onto every nail point. Just wrap around the nail and continue to the next nail points, as
you can see now. Now, the first
cycle is completed. Connect this string to the second nail point in the clockwise direction and repeat the same process
from the second nail point. now the second cycle
is also competed. Repeat the same process on every other nail points in
the clockwise direction. I will be showing some
completed stages. from my project, as you can see now, this String Art is very simple and
has very simple steps, but it is really time-consuming. Take your time and complete the full process
so that you will get a Beautiful piece of
String Art. All the best.
6. Final Words: Hi friends. I'm really
excited to see your project. Feel free to upload the photos of your project from any stages. I hove created a lot of String Art projects and I'm very
excited to share with you. Stay tuned for the same. Thanks for watching and all
the best for your project. Feel free to contact
me if you have any questions or
need any guidance.
Jino A.
