I. Tools and materials
The tools used to make sachets are scissors, needles and pencils.
The materials for making sachets are colored cloth, colored wool, colored embroidery thread, interlining, cardboard, 80 1 glue, glue or paste, absorbent cotton, paper tube, colored beads, lamp pieces, bells and spices.
Among them, spices are prepared from a variety of aromatic Chinese herbal medicines, and the traditional Chinese medicines used to prepare spices are: Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Herba Hedyotidis Diffusae, Herba Zosterae, Rhizoma Kaempferiae, Fructus Amomi rotundus, Gan Song and Flos Caryophylli. When preparing, the medicinal materials need to be ground into foam with a stone mortar, and the spices used in the sachet can be obtained after being evenly mixed.
Second, making sachets.
There are many kinds of sachets: generally speaking, they can be divided into plane embroidery combined sachets, three-dimensional sachets, wound sachets and soft-faced sachets. Here are the methods of making various sachets.
1. Flat embroidery combination sachet
(1) draft sample
Before making sachets, you should draw a sketch sample, so that you can make paper card samples based on the sketch sample. In this step, you only need to draw the outline of the pattern. Since the sketch is drawn according to the specific size of the object, you should grasp the exact size of the sketch when you draw it. After the sample is drawn, you can cut it with scissors.
② Paper-cut card template
In order to make a model that can be used for a long time, it is necessary to cut paper cards into models according to patterns. When all the patterns are cut, you can draw embroidery patterns on the paper card patterns.
(3) Paper card embroidery samples.
Drawing embroidery patterns is to draw embroidery patterns on the surface of sachets on a paper card template. When drawing embroidery patterns, we should consider the trend of embroidery patterns and the combination of embroidery stitches. After the embroidery pattern is drawn, the paper card sample is ready.
④ Cloth lining
Because the plane sachet is made of double-layer cloth lining filled with spices, each pattern should be cut out of two-layer cloth lining according to the shape of the paper card template. When cutting cloth lining, sew the cloth lining with the paper card template with needle and thread, and then cut the cloth lining along the outline of the paper card with scissors. After cutting the lining, the cloth surface can be bonded.
⑤ cloth sticking surface
The cloth sticking surface is the external decorative surface of the sachet stuck on the surface of the cloth. When sticking to the surface, glue is evenly coated on the surface of the cloth to bond the cloth and the cloth surface together. In this sachet, we choose green fabrics for lotus leaves and red and yellow fabrics for Yuanyang. After the cloth is coated and dried, it can be cut along the outline of the cloth. When cutting the cloth surface, leave a margin of 0.5 cm wide so as to stick the edges.
The purpose of wrapping is to wrap the cloth when making the finished product to prevent it from affecting the appearance. In order to bond the cloth edge smoothly, before bonding the edge, the cloth surface should be cut out with a small opening along the edge of the cloth, and the cloth surface can be bonded after cutting. Generally, 80 1 glue can be used for edge sealing. When bonding, 80 1 glue should be evenly coated on the cloth surface and cloth, and then it can be dried for a while.
⑥ Canvas embroidery.
Because the surface of this plane sachet is embroidered with silk thread, it is necessary to draw an embroidery sample on the cloth surface first. When drawing an embroidery sample, you can draw it on the cloth according to the embroidery sample drawn on the paper card. When all the embroidery patterns on the cloth are drawn, embroidery can be carried out.
All landowners embroidery
The embroidery on the surface of this kind of plane sachet is the key to enhance the appreciation, and it is also the expression of the artistic level of sachet making. Therefore, in embroidery, we should try our best to show the artistic characteristics of the sachet itself. Embroidery begins with decorating lotus leaves with pale pink silk thread, and when embroidering the core, we can use long and short needles, that is, one needle is long and the other needle is short, to show the radial shape of the core. After the flower core is embroidered, the dark pink silk thread is still embroidered with long and short needles to show the three-dimensional effect of the flower. In order to improve the decoration of flowers, plum-shaped lamp pieces can be sewn in the middle of the stamens. In order to show gorgeous decorative effect, the ribs of lotus leaves should be embroidered with gold thread.
After the lotus leaf is embroidered, you can embroider Yuanyang. The yellow mandarin duck's crown is embroidered with red, then its eyes are embroidered with black silk thread, its eyes are embroidered with silver light, and then its neck is embroidered with blue stripes. Plum blossoms on Yuanyang's chest can be embroidered with dark pink and decorated with green flower cores. The pattern on the wings of Yuanyang can be embroidered with a purple outline, and the outline is decorated with pink flowers, colored balls and green lines. The three tail feathers of Yuanyang can be green and purple, so that yellow Yuanyang can be embroidered. The embroidery method of red mandarin ducks is the same as that of yellow, except that the crown color is changed to purple, the stripes on the neck are green, the flowers on the chest are light pink, the outline of wings is changed to blue, and the stripes on the tail feathers are represented by pink, orange and green.
(8) Sewing and filling spices.
After the cloth is embroidered, it needs to be stitched and filled with spices. The sewing of Yuanyang is to embroider two pieces of Yuanyang and sew them face outward. When sewing, only the edges of two mandarin ducks can be sewn by needle roller method. In the middle of sewing, you can put absorbent cotton between two pieces of mandarin ducks. When filling absorbent cotton, sprinkle some perfume powder on the absorbent cotton, and sew it around the mandarin duck. The sewing method of lotus leaf is similar to that of Yuanyang, except that the position of sewing and Yuanyang and Lotus should be reserved when closing the lotus leaf. After most of the lotus leaves are sewn around, they will be made into lotus flowers.
When making lotus flowers, cut the vermicelli into squares, fold the square silk diagonally and then fold it in half to form lotus petals, sew the bottom of the petals together with needle and thread to form lotus petals, and make up half a lotus flower with three lotus petals. Because this plane sachet is double-sided, it is necessary to sew two lotus flowers. After the lotus is sewn, it can be assembled.
Pet-name ruby assembly
When assembling, two mandarin ducks are placed in the interlayer of two lotus leaves, and then the lotus flower is placed in the middle. After comparative testing, it is found that there is no problem in size and composition, and it can be sewn and assembled. When sewing, two mandarin ducks and two lotus flowers are sewn into the interlayer at the upper end of the lotus leaf in turn, and the main body of the sachet is completed.
Attending decoration
After the main body of Yuanyang sachet is completed, it should be decorated with hanging ears and lanyards. Here, the tassels are yellow, pink and green. After sewing the three ears, in order to make the graphics of the sachet more vivid, we have to sew a bead between the mouths of two mandarin ducks to create a picture of two mandarin ducks playing with colored beads. Finally, we matched the hanging rope to the sachet, and this flat embroidery combination sachet was finished.
