String art is a picture built from thread stretched between nails on a wooden board. There is no needle, no fabric and no embroidery: you tap the nails along the outline, then run the thread from nail to nail until a dense web forms inside each shape with the wood showing through. The section holds 38 kits and the finished size is 190×290 mm.
What is in the kit
- The wooden board.
- Nails for the outline.
- Thread — usually 4 colours, about 75 m.
- The pattern and instructions.
The only thing you add is a small hammer.

Questions and answers
Do I need a hammer?
Yes, it is the one tool not included. A small household hammer is enough.
Is string art difficult?
No. The longest part is tapping in the nails along the outline; after that the work goes quickly and does not demand millimetre accuracy.
Is it suitable for children?
From about 10–12 and only with an adult present: the project involves a hammer and sharp nails.
Does the finished piece need framing?
No, the wooden board is already part of the picture and goes straight on the wall.
