String Art Nails Guide & FAQ
Can I use regular hardware nails for string art?
Yes, you can use regular hardware nails—especially when you’re just practicing or testing out your hammering skills. But for a project you’ll spend days (or even weeks) creating, and one that might become a meaningful gift for someone special (or yourself), you’ll want nails that won’t bend, break, or leave grime behind. That’s where our brass-plated string art nails make all the difference.
What size nails are best for string art?
The ideal size for string art nails is around 15 mm (½ inch) with a rounded head. Our nails are 15 mm long, with a 2.5 mm head diameter and 1.2 mm shank (Gauge 18)—a perfect fit for most projects. For very large geometric designs with dense layering, longer nails may be more suitable. Contact us for availability.
Do these nails work on all wood types?
Yes. We’ve tested them on spruce, pine, birch, and various hardwood bases. They stay straight, reliable, and provide a consistent hold. For very hard woods like oak or beech, pre-drilling tiny guide holes can make hammering easier and protect the wood from splitting.
Why choose brass-plated nails over plain nails?
Brass plating keeps the nails rust-free, adds a clean finish, and ensures uniform color across batches. Unlike cheaper nails, they won’t leave dark grime on your hands, wood, or thread.
What’s included in each pack?
Packs are sold by weight (75 g / 2.65 oz to 500 g / 17.64 oz). Each size includes an approximate nail count, so you can match it to your project.
