String Ring is a guided string-by-number art kit that transforms any image into a personalized portrait, giving you a way to unwind, craft, and impress without pressure or perfectionism.

Crafting shouldn’t be stressful.

We live in a hyper-digital world filled with pings, scrolling, and endless tabs. As screen time rises, creativity and calm are harder to come by. Most people want to feel creative. According to Adobe’s “State of Create” study, 76% say they wish they were more creative, but only 19% make time for it.

Craft kits could offer a way back, but many miss the mark. They’re either overly technical or too simple to feel satisfying. Perfection is prioritized over play, and many require niche skills or hours of stress.

String Ring bridges the gap. It’s hands-on, personal, and calming by design. Just upload a photo, snap the loom together, and follow your string-by-number guide. It’s a rewarding, mistake-friendly process that helps you unplug and create something meaningful!

Regardless of which photo you choose, String Ring can be completed in 5-6 hours total. Unlike other DIY art projects, it’s easy to stash away when you’ve hit your flow state for the day, and easy to finish when you’re ready.

As of October 23rd, this project has raised $115,000 of their $10,000 goal. This project has 12 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $54, you will get one string ring kit. For a pledge of $135, you will get three string ring kits.
