I love the way You have a anticipating pause like Sadhguru,..Thank You for Your Beautiful Creations!
Thanks for the compliment. Like millions of other people I also admire and respect him deeply.
I am soo thank full to you for sharing details neatly
Could i know what's the diameter of that board
This was I believe. 12 inch board
Sir, I am going to start String portrait art so I see your video it help full I want to clarify the doubt that nail marketing for portrait you say clock wise direction but no say the exact Starting point mark it's 0 are 1 pls explain it where the 1 will mark?
For this design it can be anywhere on the circumference
@@GenieCraftsSir for Portrait where 1 point mark in circle and also in square portrait
@yogeshwaran5993 it depends upon from where you have generated the template from. Every generator has a different starting point. I have covered that in my videos. But normally 3’Oclock is the starting point
@@GenieCrafts Thank you for your reply sir 👍
May I know why it requires to put white paper where you can paint it with white? Thanks for this sir.
You can do either. I started with using paper background but then now I have shifted to painting background. It’s a learning process
First of all thank you so much for helping us all out ❤❤. So my question is what should be the ideal radius for the board, so that the strings don't overlap each other much and mess up the template. I used 180 nails , 4000 rounds and 20 depth for creating the template as mentioned by you in the other video.
Thanks. Please use at least 18 inch diameter board
Thank you so much sir for the reply, 18 inch for board and not 18 inch between the nails, right?
Overall diameter of the board should be 18 inch or higher
@@GenieCrafts Thanks sir 😊❤
Is it necessary to use this kind of specific thread??
No. You can use any thread but abstract designs look good in glossy nylon threads
What is green sheet u used below and what is the use of it?
That’s a paper cutting mat. It has no purpose in string art. I use it for paper art
Hi I have used 300 nails and 2500 rounds and which diameter board can I use can you plz tell
Depends upon what you are making? Is it portrait or simple abstract design?
@@GenieCrafts it's a potrait
Use below formula -
(Board diameter)*3.14 = (nail count)*(distance between the nails)
Plug in known values, calculate the unknown

What kind of paper you used as background paper
270 gsm paper but it’s better to use white gesso or white spray paint
sir can you please tell the what kind of thread we can use and thickess of thread for best resuls 80 or 150?
I have never found 150 thread. I only use 80. Let me know where can I get 150 one please
Use polyester thread
@@GenieCrafts80 thread is better or i can use something else and please tell me that 80 thread with 180 nails 18 inches borad is good combo?
One other question, sir can you please tell what's the width of the nylon that should be used, because I can see all the size from 0.11 mm to 1 mm on Amazon. Would be great if u can provide the link ❤.
Search by weight. For portrait I use weight 80 thread. Also nylon thread is very slippery to handle. Try using polyester or a mix material thread which is not so slippery. I use polyester weight 80 thread
What if we have to mart 100 points or 200 ?
