Free tool that converts photos into thread / string art patterns. Build real string art with a laser-cut peg ring SVG and a step-by-step thread sequence, or skip the pegs and produce faux thread art by laser-scoring (or printing) the entire pattern straight onto wood, leather, paper, or acrylic. Pioneered by Petros Vrellis, the algorithm greedily picks each next thread by darkening the residual image. Great as a craft project, gift, or wall art.
