[Paper flower] A flower made of paper

Paper flowers are also called "paper flowers", but in fact, the raw materials are not only paper and paper flowers, but also a lot of raw materials, just commonly known as paper flowers. Paper flowers are ornaments on women's hair bun. Business was booming before women got a haircut. After Guangxu, the satin fake heads of Manchu women in Beijing were popular, with a little flower on their heads and exquisite production. Compared with the paper flowers worn by Han people, the paper flower business has been very developed for many years. Beijing paper flowers have wonderful characteristics, so they are sold widely in Hebei, Shanxi and Chahar. Since the flag skirt and women's haircut disappeared, the paper flower industry has plummeted. Only the big flag flower is customized by accident in the pear garden, and the small flower of China Head can also be marketed in the countryside. In recent years, there is a kind of wedding corolla that is neither the national flag nor the national flag of China, and it is common to keep hair and cut hair. It is also called red velvet rockhopper, but it is different from the rockhopper in Han Dynasty.

The paper flower industry in Beijing flower market adopts the way of division of labor and cooperation, including flowers, leaves, stems and trembling silk, and finally spreads the paper flowers into a whole flower. There are three kinds of paper flowers: scattered storage, scattered sale and self-sale. The first method is a paper flower shop. On weekdays, in addition to buying in the market, some petals and some flowers and leaves are customized for florists, or the dismantled flower shops prepare materials, or the living people bring their own materials, collect money, and then re-process them into finished flowers for sale. The second kind of selling is that people who sell live flowers (not paper flower shops) order all kinds of flowers and leaves from real people, collect them and sell them in the market or paper flower shops every day to get some small profits. Paper flower shops are also neat and worry-free because of this method, not the first method, but it costs a little money. The third kind of self-selling, there are many idle women at home, which are made of flowers and leaves. They are sold to the market or flower shop every day, or they buy semi-formed raw materials from the market and then process them.

There are different procedures for making paper flowers, such as making leaves, pasting them with silk paper first, some with one side of silk paper, some with two layers of silk stuck together, some with two sides of paper, oiling the surface, cutting them into small pieces with thick leaves, inserting small thin wires at the end, and then scattering live flowers on them, thus smashing the whole edge of Ye Jin. To crush Ye Jin, there must be various lead casting blade molds with different sizes. The mold is divided into two parts, the lower part is thick, the Ye Jin is concave, the upper part is thin, and the Ye Jin is convex. These two works are consistent, and the Ye Jin stripes are close. When Ye Jin hits it, the mold must be slightly hot, or baked outside the stove plate, or covered with a hot kettle. The coarse mosaic should be aimed at the lower mouth with iron wire, placed on the lower piece, covered with the upper piece, and smashed with a mallet, and Ye Jin will be clearly revealed. Then, according to the veins distributed in Ye Jin and the types of mosaic needed, the outer side is trimmed, the broken edges are pulled out, and the leaves are slightly flattened. There can't be only one set of each model, and at least four or five sets can be exchanged. It is easier to make petals than leaves. As long as skilled people cut them into flower pieces with single silk or double silk paper, they need to be beautiful and suitable. Making flowers must be simple and complicated. Butterfly whiskers, some of which are made of paper silk paste, some are made of extremely fine copper wire, one end of which is dipped in colored balls, such as turmeric dipped in rice juice or turmeric mixed with rubber powder, and dried immediately after dipping, Huang Liang, just like real flower whiskers. Unwanted flower hearts, such as orchids, are made of rushes. The flower branches, petioles and whiskers are mostly wrapped in paste, the thick ones are wrapped in green tissue paper and the thin ones are wrapped in velvet.

Saving flowers is a unique skill. The finished flowers sold in the market are only very thick flowers, and large flowers and fine products must be saved by paper florists themselves. Because the petals are paste, they can stand, not sticking or squeezing, and have distinct layers. It will be more beautiful if the flowers are decorated with butterflies and flowers. Fortunately, this kind of work is mainly used for visiting the mother of the iron mirror princess in Shiro, and no one uses it in life.

Not only ordinary women need paper flowers, but also paper flower manufacturers need paper flowers. They are intrigued with each other and are increasingly developing new patterns to meet their needs. Paper flower shops around the flower market, except for married people and most buyers, usually sell more, mostly relying on Fazhuang. In the early years, women bought flowers, some went to temple fairs, and most of them were bought in front of the door. Many flower sellers are familiar with the care of the Lord, and every time they call people, they are very selective. The flower seller must have great patience and excellent eloquence to make a deal. If you buy too much, you must send another flower box.
