The following are detailed explanations and steps:
A, material preparation:
Bamboo sticks or bamboo strips: Choose bamboo sticks or bamboo strips with appropriate length and diameter, and choose different thickness and length as required.
Water: used to soften bamboo sticks and make them easier to bend.
Heating tools: bamboo sticks can be heated by flame, heater or hot water to soften them and facilitate bending.
Mould or forming tool: Sometimes some moulds or tools may be needed to help shape bamboo sticks.
Second, the production steps:
1, prepare the bamboo stick:
Choose bamboo sticks with appropriate length and diameter, trim or soak them in water as needed to make them soft, which makes them easier to bend.
2, heating to soften the bamboo stick:
Heat the bamboo stick with flame, heater or hot water until it becomes soft. This process needs to be careful to ensure uniform heating and avoid burning or deformation of bamboo sticks.
3. Shape:
When the bamboo stick becomes soft, you can start to shape the required shape or structure. Carefully bend the bamboo stick with hands or tools, and heat and bend it as many times as needed until the ideal shape is reached.
4, finalize the design and fixed:
After reaching the desired shape, let the bamboo stick cool naturally, or put it in cold water to accelerate the fixing of the shape. Sometimes it may be necessary to use glue or other adhesives to fix the structure.
5, decoration and application:
Bamboo sticks can be used to make various handicrafts, decorations or plant works of art after bending. It can be used as a part of decoration, or as the skeleton of a model, or as a structure or support.
Third, matters needing attention:
Safety first: Be extra careful when using flame or heating tools to ensure safe operation and avoid burns or other accidents.
Pay attention to the heating temperature: when heating the bamboo stick, you should master the appropriate temperature and time to avoid burning, deformation or cracking of the bamboo stick.
Skilled operation: mastering the heating forming process of bamboo sticks requires certain skills and proficiency, and it is best to make them formally after practice.
The bending method of flower bamboo stick is an interesting handicraft skill, which can be applied to all kinds of creative handcraft. Through proper heating molding, bamboo sticks can become soft and easy to bend, which provides more possibilities for the production of handicrafts.
