Firmora is a creative string art kit that lets you turn your own photo into a large minimalist thread portrait. Inside the box you receive a prepared board with nails, premium monofilament thread and access to our step by step digital instructions.

Once finished, your Firmora piece becomes a striking centerpiece in your home, drawing attention and adding a gallery feel to your space.

Begin by opening the package and finding the printed paper manual. Take a moment to read the instructions from beginning to end so you understand each element inside the box.

Then visit the web address or scan the QR code indicated in the manual, enter your Firmora code, upload your photo and choose whether you prefer the interactive online tutorial or a downloadable PDF guide.

The best photos for Firmora are usually close ups of a single person or a couple with clear, contrasting lighting and a calm background.

Strong light on the face and clear contours help the thread lines stand out. Very dark, blurry or very busy photos are harder to translate into clean string art.

1. Go to our generator using the link or QR code in your kit.

2. Enter the unique Firmora code from the card inside the box.

3. Upload your photo and adjust the crop if needed.

4. Select the design option you like best.

5. Start assembling using the online guide or the PDF instructions.

In the interactive Firmora guide you can customise your experience. You are free to choose relaxing music or silence, select a voice and adjust the playback speed.

A higher speed helps you complete your Firmora composition faster, while a slower speed creates a more meditative, mindful process.

You can look at our inspiration gallery in the online generator to see examples of photos that work particularly well as string art.

If you are still not sure, you can email us several of your favourite photos. We will let you know which images will translate best into a Firmora portrait.

Your code allows you to view and preview your design as many times as you like in the generator.

However, you can download or generate the full assembly instructions a maximum of three times. You have three opportunities to create complete projects, so confirm the design only when you are satisfied.

Yes. You can pause the assembly process at any time and easily resume right where you left off.

The guide is step based and the audio player lets you pause playback or adjust the voice speed as needed, so you can always continue at your own pace.

There is no strict expiration date built into the code in your kit. You can access the generator whenever you are ready to begin.

Simply keep your activation card safe and start your project when the timing is right for you.

Yes. If you want to create more than three designs or make gifts for several people, you can purchase an additional activation code from our website.

This allows you to reuse your board and nails while generating new instructions for new artworks.

First, click the upload a photo button in the generator and enter the code from your kit.

Then upload your image, adjust the scale and position, preview the design variations and select the one you like most.

When you press next to confirm, one of your three attempts is used to generate detailed instructions for that design.

After you generate the instructions you receive an email from us with a link to your personal tutorial.

Simply open that link to continue where you left off. In the interface you can also access a help option to jump to a specific step without re using your code.

The Firmora base with nails is approximately 50 by 50 centimetres, with the printed image slightly smaller to create a clean border.

The board is made from high quality painted medium density fibreboard and the thread is a durable nylon monofilament designed to keep its tension and clarity over time.

No special skills are required. Firmora is designed to be enjoyable for everyone, regardless of experience level.

Our guide walks you step by step through the process, and you can adjust the speaker speed so that you never feel rushed. If you get lost, it is easy to find your place again and continue.

On average, assembling one Firmora artwork takes around six to eight hours in total.

You can break the project into several sessions if you prefer. Many people enjoy working on their piece over a few evenings or weekends.

You can upload as many photos as you like into the generator to preview possible designs.

However, you can only generate three sets of assembly instructions per activation code. This means you can create up to three full portraits with a single Firmora kit by reusing the board and nails like a new canvas each time.

If you would like to preview the result before purchasing a kit, you can email your chosen photo to our support team.

We will help you understand how it would look as a Firmora string art piece and, when possible, provide a quick visual preview.

For the best results, we recommend photos that are not overly detailed. Portraits with one or two people or animals, clear lighting and a simple background tend to work beautifully.

If you are not happy with the first preview you can simply upload new photos until you find the image that feels just right.

Once you receive your Firmora kit, go to the generator address or QR code mentioned in your manual.

From there you can upload your photo directly, enter your code and start generating your unique design.
