① Preparation materials: To make cinnabar beads, materials such as cinnabar, beads, glue and hemp rope need to be prepared. ② Apply cinnabar: Soften cinnabar with water and apply it on the surface of beads to make the surface of beads appear the color of cinnabar evenly. ③ Drying beads: put the beads coated with cinnabar in a ventilated place to dry or bake with fire.
④ Perforated beading: Perforated the dried beads, then put on hemp rope or other metal wires and string them into a bead chain. ⑤ Complete bead chain: arrange bead chains and tie knots, and the cinnabar beads will be ready.
Cinnabar beads are a traditional handicraft and an ornament, which are often used in Buddhist sacrifices and geomantic layout. The production of cinnabar beads requires the use of materials such as cinnabar and beads, and requires certain manual skills and patience.
Precautions:
① Keep clean: When making cinnabar beads, keep the tools and materials clean and hygienic, so as not to affect the production effect. ② Pay attention to safety: Pay attention to safety when baking beads with fire to avoid accidents. ③ Patience and meticulousness: The production of cinnabar beads needs patience and meticulousness, and each step needs careful treatment to make exquisite cinnabar beads.
The beads of cinnabar bracelets are made of cinnabar powder. Cinnabar bracelets are made by crushing cinnabar raw materials into powder and then gluing. The method of making cinnabar beads is generally to prepare some plant dyeing materials first, and then you can put the bracelets you need to make in.
Then completely seal the container for processing cinnabar bracelets with plastic wrap, wrap it with adhesive tape for several times, and finally find a heavy object to hold it down to prevent a large amount of liquid from overflowing after alcohol volatilizes. After a month, don't rush to take out the processed bracelet, let it ventilate for half a day, and then take it out.
Natural cinnabar is a kind of ore, which coexists with minerals such as crystal, iron ore and copper mine. Nowadays, raw materials of cinnabar are scarce and there are no other minerals, so it is difficult to find a large and pure cinnabar mine. Therefore, the price of cinnabar bracelets on the market is generally more expensive.
The cinnabar bracelets sold in shopping malls and online are basically tens to hundreds of yuan. The lighter and brightly colored ones in your hand are almost all made of a plastic powder, adhesive and pigment, and they are also common fakes on the market.
Merchants claim that the purity of cinnabar is 60-70%, but there is no content at all, just pure plastic powder. Of course, there are also cinnabar bracelets made of real cinnabar powder, which need to be identified.
The beads with the diameter of real cinnabar bracelet 1.0 are already very heavy. If you count a string of 19 beads, the total weight is about 40 grams, and the fake cinnabar bracelet of the same size does not exceed 20 grams at most. Weight is the main reference standard.
Because the real cinnabar bracelet is natural cinnabar powder, even after screening, cinnabar powder still contains tiny crystal particles. If you break one, there will be many crystal particles under the lamp, but the fake one won't.
In addition to being true and false, many people are also worried about the toxicity of cinnabar, because cinnabar mine itself contains a certain amount of mercury, that is, the component of mercury, which will be toxic after volatilization.
But ordinary wearers don't have to worry, because the mercury in cinnabar ore won't precipitate at room temperature. Our normal body temperature is 37 degrees, which is far from the temperature requirement for precipitation of mercury. The precipitation of mercury is at least 300 degrees, so you can wear it safely and the cinnabar bracelet is made of cinnabar powder.
