Development of Artificial Flower Products from Remnant of Fabric with Coating Technique by Community Enterprise and Artificial Craft in Khao Kaew Srisomboon, Thung Saliam, Sukhothai

Abstract

The objectives of the research on Development of Artificial Flower Products from Remnant of Fabric with Coating Technique by Community Enterprise and Artificial Craft in Khao Kaew Srisomboon, Thung Saliam, Sukhothai are as follows: 1) to study the techniques for coating the remnant of fabrics from the sewing process, 2) to test the resistance of coatings on remnant of fabrics to develop artificial flower products, and 3) to develop artificial flower products from waste with fabric coating techniques.

          The results revealed that: the study of how to coat the fabric surface of the fabric coating formula with gelatin. It was revealed that the formula 3 was the most suitable (60%). As a result, the formula 3 that could be found generally and appropriate for artificial flower, to increase durability, molding and longer useful life of artificial flower products. From the study of fabric coating techniques found spray coating had the highest level of appropriateness (60%). As a result, spray coating to artificial flower products because of its convenience in order to prevent pollution. Moreover, coatings also helped to improve strength, durability, and useful life of product. These results were consistent with the result of water repellency test revealing that the test result of spray coating was in level 3, there was only sprayed on front areas surface of the fabric wet only the area that has been sprayed with water, then the experts will choose the suitable flowers of cotton fabric, Mohom fabric, and Sukhothai fabric “Jok” for developing artificial flower products using coating technique. It was found that the most suitable flowering characteristics: hydrangea, tulip, and Phalaen orchid (80% equal) followed by Vanda orchid, and waterlily (60% equal).
