Photos are memories—but they’re also materials. With the RingString kit, you convert pixels into a tactile masterpiece using only nails and thread. The result is a modern, high-contrast portrait that looks great from across the room and even better up close.

How RingString turns photos into art

1. Choose your photo. Clear faces and good contrast work best (see tips below).
2. Attach the included template to the wooden board.
3. Place the nails along the mapped points—no guessing needed.
4. Weave the thread following the guide. Lines build tone, shadow, and detail.
5. Remove the template and… hello, gallery moment.
