Garlands: Dyes and Roses Dyeing for Commercial Crafts

Abstract

This research, entitled “Garlands: Dyes and Dyeing Methods for Synthetic Roses in Commercial Craftsmanship,” aimed to (1) explore dyes and dyeing techniques for synthetic roses in commercial craftsmanship and (2) evaluate satisfaction with the developed products. The study employed research and development methodology comprising five key steps: 1. collecting relevant data, 2. experimenting with dyeing techniques, 3. designing the garland prototype, 4. selecting appropriate color shades, and 5. developing the final product. Data was analyzed using percentages, means, and standard deviations.

The findings revealed that 74 percent of experts selected lining fabric for the dyeing process, and they preferred using Samphao cotton dye at 53 percent. Additionally, they opted for the cold dyeing technique at 84 percent. Moreover, 74 percent of experts selected the red dyeing color as suitable for commercial crafts. Color evaluation was conducted using a light intensity measuring instrument and through expert assessment. Subsequently, a prototype of the garland product was created. The study of satisfaction with the Garlands: Dyes and Dyeing Techniques for Synthetic Roses in Commercial Craftsmanship found that in the dyeing process, the quality of the fabric dyed in rose color was evaluated to be at the highest level, with overall satisfaction ( = 4.67). In terms of the garland product, practical usability was rated at the highest level, ( = 4.80). Regarding business development, the garland product was perceived as highly beneficial in supporting handicraft enterprises, for example, developing into souvenir items. This respect received the highest rating, ( = 4.80).
