FAQ
RingString is the world’s first string art based on any of your photos, that you assemble yourself with an online voice instructor or with a printed PDF instruction. RingString isn’t just an enticing hobby, but also is a great gift, that is sure to surprise anyone! The most important thing about our string art is its versatility! You can gift it either in a box, or as a portrait that you lovingly created yourself!
It takes only three simple steps:
- Buy a RingString set;
- Upload your photo using the unique code from your paper manual;
- Put on our meditative background music and assemble your picture, guided by our voice assistant!
The finished picture will look stylish in any interior thanks to its balance of black and white colors. And the fact, that it is your own picture, will surely draw attention!
You can find the examples of finished pictures on our social media using the #ringstring hashtag.
Your personal code is printed on the paper instruction sheet inside the box. Enter it at ringstring.art before uploading your photo. If the sheet is missing or the code field is blank — email info@ringstring.art with a photo of the kit.
Following the paper manual inside the package, enter your unique code on the ringstring.art website and upload your photo. Then, select the assembly variant you like and start creating your art!
To finish the assembly we recommend to carefully press all of the strings down towards the base, so that unnecessary shadows would disappear from your RingString picture, and the definition of the picture would increase. Tutorial at the link.
Our generator can create an instruction based on any photo or picture of yours, but we recommend to create portraits, zooming in on facial features for better quality of the final picture.
Yes. The kit includes a unique code. Gift the box as-is, or generate the instructions yourself before giving it and tuck in a printed PDF or assembly link — the surprise stays intact.
Up to three instruction emails per code — pick the best layout before you start weaving. Unlimited previews while choosing. If assembly has already started, don't create a new generation — continue via the link in your first email.
About 6 hours for the standard kit (46 cm diameter) and ~5 hours for Mini (32 cm). You can work in sessions. To resume, use the link from your email or pin search in the generator.
Email info@ringstring.art, describe the situation and attach a photo of the kit. If weaving had already started, include the email address you used for generation.
Yes. After generation you'll get a printable PDF by email. Online assembly with voice needs internet; a printed pattern works offline.
Yes. Each kit is for one string art portrait. For a new photo, buy a new kit or an add-on kit (after removing the old thread from the board).
RingString kits use a round image format only — no square versions. Standard diameter is 46 cm; Mini is 32 cm.
Use pin search in the generator (top left) — see the paper manual for how. Always return via the link in your email to jump back to the right step.
A few wrong steps won't hurt the final result. Enter the pin where you stopped in search, or unwind a few steps back.
Our generator is made to suit you, and you are free to control the speed of assembly and voiceover in the generator, by either increasing and decreasing the speed.
We order our strings from the largest supplier, who guarantees quality and durability, but we still recommend you not to pull the string too hard. If the thread breaks, you can tie two of its ends with a knot; it won’t affect the look of the final picture.
Wrap the pin twice with thread, cut from the spool leaving a long tail, pass the end under the pin loop and tie two double knots to keep tension.
It is impossible since the pins are inserted securely into the base. Thus, we do not include spare pins.
On the back of the base there is a mounting, using which you can hang your picture on the wall.
When assembling a packaging, we add few additional components just in case. Still, if your packaging lack anything, please send a letter to our email address - info@ringstring.art and we will send you anything you need.
Our recommended age is 14+, but we have created a very thorough instruction as well as an intuitive generator, so that under adult supervision children starting from 8 years old can assemble pictures as well.
Right after generating an instruction for assembly, files used for generation are deleted.
Please check your “Spam” folder and if you entered your email correctly. If you can’t find your instructions still, write to our email: info@ringstring.art
Also, after entering you email in our generator website, you can start online assembly or download PDF instruction right away.
We see the main idea of our product in the assembly process of your particular photo, so we do not produce already made pictures.
You can look up our picture gallery and select one there.
